Oslo Academy of Arts take furniture to Stockholm

Students from the Faculty of Design at The Oslo Academy of the Arts (KHiO) will be presenting their prototypes based on the concept Under Construction on stand V01:59 at the Stockholm Furniture Fair from 4th-8th February
This year, KHiO's contribution at the 2009 fair is entitled Under Construction. Creative work processes are always in ux, constantly developing and changing, just like designers themselves. Under Construction focuses on key aspects of what it means to be a designer and a student at KHiO. Often, the path to a goal can be equally as important as the goal itself. The design of KHiO's stand, inspired by the look of a building site, is a visual expression of this. Equally evident to the students is the process that KHiO is undergoing until 2010, when all the study programmes in the eld of design, visual arts and performing arts will at last be located together on the academy's "Seilduken" campus in Oslo. Under Construction therefore represents the spirit of both a designer and an arts academy.
