Excursion Norwegian industry
Study trip emphasising visits to businesses, exhibitions and architect offices.
The goal of the class is to give the students insights into – and understanding of – production processes and the connection between designers, production and subcontractors.
The company visits will show a part of the diversity and breadth of Norwegian furniture industry, and will give the students a broader understanding of what is behind the work done by designers, product developers, production and subcontractors. The trip will contribute to sparking interest and devotion in the students for this field which requires renewal, new designers, new ideas and new solutions.
