DS Unika is an exhibition showcasing unique objects from selected designers, and in 2025, the concept focuses on creating products from Norwegian wood. During the first week of September, eight designers kicked off DS Unika 2025 with a workshop at Hamran’s woodworking studio in Southern Norway. Hamran provided the participants with access to locally sourced southern Norwegian oak, advanced tools, and support from skilled craftsmen.

The designers were selected by an external jury. The chosen participants are: Anna Maria Øfstedal Eng, Bjørn van den Berg, Morten & Jonas, Julia Conley, Vilde Hagelund, Lloyd Winter, Silje Nesdal, and Kjetil Smedal.

You can see the 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 will be open to industry professionals on Friday and Saturday from 09:00 to 18:00. On Sunday, it will be open to all design enthusiasts from 11:00 to 15:00.
