Design Shanghai is Asia’s leading international design event. They display the best design brands and galleries from across the globe, and has become a must-see event on the international design calendar.

Nordic Home Lifestyle Exhibition - Special showcase of Norway
The Norwegian design companies Northern and Flokk will join the WOWDesign booth (stand E2 - 68) at the Design Shanghai 2019 fair, with a special showcase of Norwegian design. The Norwegian Consulate General in Shanghai will co-host the opening ceremony with Innovation Norway and WOWDesign on March 6, from 14:00 to 15:00. Consul General Kristin Iglum and Commercial Counsellor Knut Sørlie will join and give short speeches. They will also join the business seminar with the Norwegian brands and host a dinner reception at CG residence on March 6.
