Designers’ Saturday is Norway’s largest and most important meeting place for design and interior architecture. The event brings together more than 6,000 industry professionals and over 180 exhibitors for three days of inspiration, professional insight and valuable connections across the industry.

Friday and Saturday are dedicated trade days, with showrooms open across Oslo. On Saturday, free DS buses run on fixed routes between exhibitors throughout the day, making it easy to visit multiple locations. Sunday is a public day at selected showrooms, welcoming everyone with an interest in design and interiors.

Exhibitors present the best in furniture, lighting, textiles, materials and solutions for interior architecture – from kitchens, bathrooms and flooring to acoustics, surfaces and innovative products. The programme also features talks and panel discussions, as well as opportunities to meet colleagues, partners and new connections.

Designers’ Saturday – who is behind it?

The Designers’ Saturday concept originated in New York in the early 1970s as a response to the large exhibition halls. Since then, the event has been held in cities around the world. In Oslo, Designers’ Saturday has been organised as a biennial event since 1986, and DS 2027 will be the 21st edition.

Designers’ Saturday is organised as a non-profit association and operates primarily on a voluntary basis, with a working Board, one contracted CEO and one project coordinator.

Our exhibitors are our members, and the Annual General Meeting is the association’s highest governing body.
