DS Collab
Stoppested
DS Collab aims to match designers and manufacturers to develop commercial, innovative products for sale. In collaboration with Norsk Industri, we are launching DS Collab 2025 – a fully Norwegian initiative where both manufacturers and designers are Norwegian.
Experience DS Collab at Myrens Verksted during Designers’ Saturday 2025 – a celebration of collaboration, innovation, and sustainability in Norwegian design. Through seven unique projects, you’ll gain insight into how Norwegian designers and manufacturers work together to develop new products and concepts that combine quality with commercial potential.
The exhibition design by Kristine Bjaadal and Bjørn van den Berg offers a close-up look at everything from early ideas to material exploration and prototypes. The collaborations were selected through an open call launched by Designers’ Saturday in 2024, reflecting the breadth of contemporary Norwegian design expertise.
The seven collaborations are:
– Northern × Kim Thomé
– Heymat × Studio Sløyd
– LK Hjelle × Studio Sløyd
– Eskoleia × Jonas Stokke
– Ygg&Lyng × Vilde Hagelund
– Minus × Kaja Dahl
– Volver × Kristine Five Melvær
DS Collab is an initiative by Designers’ Saturday and Norsk Industri Designindustrien, aimed at strengthening ties between Norwegian designers and manufacturers and increasing international awareness of Norwegian design.
