Norway Designs — the design store
Norwegian craft, design, and homeware in a curated downtown shop. The best one-stop place for actual-quality Norwegian goods.
Tied to Oslo
Norway Designs, founded in 1957, now sits at Lille Grensen 7 in central Oslo, just off Karl Johans gate near Stortinget. The shop curates Norwegian and Nordic design at every price point — Røros Tweed wool blankets, Magnor Glassverk crystal, the full Marius-pattern catalog, Cathrineholm enamelware in its iconic lotus print, hand-thrown ceramics from named potters. It is not where to buy a magnet; it is where to buy something a family member would notice on a shelf twenty years from now.
The shop is laid out by category — textiles and ceramics on one floor, jewelry and paper goods on the other. Sensible Norwegian price tags rather than tourist mark-ups.
What we plan to look for
A single small object — a wool throw, a wooden bowl, a piece of Magnor glass — that will travel home in checked luggage and outlive most things in the house.
