Programme

The festival programme for the European Design Festival this year is all about making new connections! It all starts with an exciting tour of some of Oslo's best studios before everyone heads over to Oslo's beautiful City Hall for a grand opening of the Festival. The actual festival takes place at an amazing Oslo harbour venue called Skur 13 and we have invited speakers whose work truly challenges the way we think and feel - about design, sustainability for the future and even life in general. The award show and party Saturday night will be a blast. Remember to bring your dancing shoes! Stay tuned for updates and new events happening these exciting three days in June.
