The nominated works will be showcased in a dedicated exhibition at Myrens Verksted (Stop 1) during this year’s Designers' Saturday.

The exhibition is designed by Kristine Bjaadal and Bjørn van den Berg, and is open to industry professionals on Friday and Saturday from 09:00 to 18:00. On Sunday, the exhibition welcomes all design enthusiasts from 11:00 to 15:00.

The ambition behind the DS Awards Best Talents is to recognize emerging, forward-thinking designers. We aim to celebrate future-oriented thinking within our various design fields and highlight sustainable, experimental, and groundbreaking work.

The jury is chaired by internationally acclaimed Danish designer Cecilie Manz. The remaining jury members represent six of Norway’s leading design institutions: Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO), The Oslo School of Architecture and Design (AHO), Kristiania University College, OsloMet, NTNU, and the University of Bergen. The jury is committed to acknowledging and valuing the diversity of design approaches and types of work.

The winners will be announced during the Saturday Night Party at Trekanten. Tickets for the party can be purchased here.
