Sight Unseen is on the ground at the Milan Furniture Fair right now and we’ll be bringing you loads of coverage next week, but meanwhile we’re we’re featuring quick hits on the best things we’re seeing as we go. One of the first projects we saw this week (opening tomorrow) is the ninth annual edition of Norwegian Presence, a group exhibition of work by some of the Nordic country’s best talents, curated by Design and Architecture Norway (DOGA) and, this year, styled by Kråkvik & D’Orazio and Bjørn van den Berg. Some of the key pieces in the show include a dyed-birch stepladder and stool by Studio Sløyd, a wild felted-wool chair on a beige metal base by Stine Aas and Siv Støldal, and a pleasingly chunky half-moon tiered side table made from local Norwegian pine by Svingen Arkitektkontor and Wu Xian. You can view the full participant lineup here and see the show yourself this week at Via Pietro Maroncelli 2 in Brera.
