Both countries have far more skilled young talents than they do manufacturers, and, like American designers — who have shifted in the past 10 years away from a reliance on brands and more towards self-initiated production and distribution — Norwegian designers are also beginning to embrace their independence. To highlight their shared entrepreneurship, Sight Unseen’s editors created a cross-cultural exchange called Norway x New York, pairing American studios with Norwegian studios to spend six months working together long-distance on objects that utilize an American workshop for fabrication and can be independently manufactured for future sales. The third annual Norway x New York show will feature the following 7 design pairs: Paul Loebach (US) x Jonas Stokke (NO) Trueing (US) x Andreas Bergsaker (NO) Eny Lee Parker (US) x Kaja Solgaard Dahl (NO) Souda (US) x Stine Aas (NO)Kin and Company (US) x Henrik Ødegaard (NO)Objects of Common Interest (US) x Falke Svatun (NO)Pat Kim (US) x Ann Kristin Einarsen (NO)
