Designers Saturday 2011, Oslo!

This weekend Designers Saturday was back in Oslo! 
Designers Saturday Oslo is the only national exhibition event in Norway dedicated to furniture, textiles, lighting, flooring and other interior and design related products aimed at both industry professionals and the wider design aware public. 


This is an untraditional design fair that is been arranged every second year; 180 cutting edge Norwegian, Scandinavian and international exhibitors display their latest offerings.
Of course I had to be there!
Unfortunately I can not show you -everything-, but here is a small selection:

STUDENT PROJECT
"Drivved" by Wang Ting
Why not use the rawmaterial as it is?


STUDENT PROJECT
"Wythered Leas" by Tuva Hellum

STUDENT PROJECT
"Taxiseat" by Camilla Akersveen
Loved how she was inspired by that ugly "wooden roller balls massage blanket" taxi drivers often used in their driving seat, and created this playfulness expression!
Of course I hade to include a picture of the inspiration, for those who is confused in what I am talking about:
Quite impressive how you can make something that ugly look so much better?!

STUDENT PROJECT
"Vidje" by Iris Djupvik
3rd place winner of Student Project!

NORTHERN LIGHTING
"Snakkes" (Norwegian, means "Talk to you later") by Daniel Cortazar
I want some in my future office, used as "idea-drawing-boards"! :D

CATELLANI & SMITH
"PK LED Parete" by Catellani & Smith
A quite simple lamp that casts this beautiful shadows!

More randomly:
Went past this building art, just had to take a picture!

 Just a random window sticker at Vitra; interesting way of presenting a product.
