INSPIRED by its rugged terrain, Norwegian design can find its distinct characteristic through its fluid connection with nature and its subtle design features that combine form and function.
According to its embassy in Manila, Norwegian lifestyle design reflects the Scandinavian nation’s egalitarian society, similar to its neighbors, but with close connections with nature and sustainability.
It revealed that some of its iconic buildings share similar design elements to familiar architectural icons in the Philippines, such as the Cultural Center of the Philippines designed by the National Artist for Architecture Leandro V. Locsin, and the Oslo Opera House designed by world-renowned design firm Snøhetta.
Norwegian design shares values that are also rooted to home, simplicity, and kos, which can be loosely described as “a cozy, warm like a cup of coffee in the morning, or keeping warm on a rainy day.” “From sustainable seafood to leading the electric vehicle industry, we hope to spark inspiration where nature meets minimalism,” said Ambassador Christian Halaas Lysster. “Norway is the ‘North of the Ordinary,’ with a strong foundation and sustainability in mind.”
The event trained spotlights on Fil-Norwegian crooner Hillari and Michelin chef Daniel Vergara, who was able to put up a successful food business in Oslo.
