says, hello new york   Totem design is pleased to announce an exhibition of work by the group NORWAY SAYS. The exhibition will be a retrospective of work by Norway Says from the last several years featuring work that includes prototypes as well as production pieces. Norway Says have been instrumental in putting Norway on the map as one of the Scandinavian countries that counts as one of their resources the export of good design. From their first showing in the Salone Satellite in Milan in 2000, the Norway Says group has received tremendous attention for their innovative approach to design utilising materials and techniques inherent to Scandinavian design but with a definite Norwegian attitude and an approach that looks to the future. Norway Says were featured in a profile in Totem’s own magazine last year and have appeared in a documentary about design, both produced by Totem Media. The exhibition will be the continuation of a show originating at Union Station In Washington DC in November 2002. norway says is a design group of 5 young furniture designers and interior architects collaborating on international exhibitions. We are a group of friends committed to putting Norway back on the design map. Espen Voll, Frode Myhr, Torbjørn Anderssen, Andreas Engesvik, Tore Borgersen. Norwegian Design Norway has long lagged behind its Nordic neighbours in furniture design.Its national furniture manufacturers and retailers have for the last 20-30 years shown little interest and will to engage with young and untried talent with fresh ideas.The consequence is that Norway is a country with little design reputation abroad.
