Situated in central Oslo, the Norwegian Centre for Design and Architecture (aka DOGA) was formed from the merging of the Foundation for Design and Architecture and the Norwegian Design Council. The centre’s mission is to explore the intersection of design and architecture and promote the understanding, knowledge and use of the twin disciplines from a commercial and social perspective. DOGA is actively involved in a host of international initiatives intended to explore ways of using design and architecture to develop products, services and surroundings – including 100% Norway at London Design Fair, and Milan shows such as Structure, Everything is Connected and Norwegian Presence.
Norwegian Presence – a multi-disciplinary celebration of Norwegian making – is now open in Zona Tortona.
