Since its first edition in 2015, Norwegian Presence has brought the best of Norway’s design, craft and manufacturing to Milan Design Week. A perennial highlight of the festival, the annual showcase offers a unique insight into Norwegian creative culture, and the values, infrastructure and materials that shape it. Returning to Milan for a ninth edition, Norwegian Presence’s exhibition is a celebration of honest materiality, circular design practice, and collaborative creativity. Back in a prime location in Brera for 2023, the show highlights new products and prototypes from a hand-picked roster of emerging and established Norwegian design talents, alongside contributions and collaborations from some of the most innovative, material-minded and sustainability-driven manufacturers in Norway today.
Having worked on Norway’s Milan exhibitions since 2016 (and shows elsewhere since 2012), Zetteler is happy to be back on board as the event returns to the city in 2023, taking up residence in a spectacular exhibition space in Brera.
