Stockholm Design Week kicks off today, and we would like to invite you to a few special shows.

For an exclusive night at the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Stockholm the exhibition "A colour composition – New Norwegian design" will present the best of new Norwegian design and crafts today.

It will be carefully curated and exhibited in the historical building from 1953 by Norwegian architect Knut Knutsen. The exhibition will be curated and styled by the well-renowned duo Kråkvik & D’Orazio, and will be shown as part of an evening event exclusively for relevant design, architecture and lifestyle media and interior architects during Stockholm Design Week. It will be open to the public on Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th of February.

In the new exhibition at OCA, language and technology common to the field of science fiction creates the backdrop to an exploration of human nature and how we position ourselves in an ever-expanding environment.

A painting from 1922 by the seminal Indian modernist Gaganendranath Tagore serves as a vantage point for the exhibition. The painting, which is loosely based on what is known as a preliminary science fiction story written in the Bengali language, depicts the ascending of a humanized entity to a celestial or spatial sphere removed of its earthly bounds

During the opening of the new Elementa premises at Prindseloftet in May, we had the pleasure to host a spectacular event shaped by Stockholm based designer Prang Lerttaweewit from Another New Design Studio.

During some 2 intense hours of culinary discovery, some 100 guests had the chance to mix 60 different ingredients organized by colour on a long table - ranging from known foods, to more esoteric ingredients.

The earth has spent many million years on developing solutions to problems it has faced. Nearly all of nature's materials are produced with a minimal resources, at a normal temperature, without a lot of energy and with recycling of waste. Nature is sustainable.

At Elementa we are hugely inspired by all kinds of true explorers of the hidden recesses of the mind. The first big retrospective exhibition of the Swedish mystic artist Hilma af Klint’s work, originally organized by Moderna Museet is now on display at Henie Onstad art centre - and is allegedly the last chance to see this show for a long time.
