Oslo-based designer Live Berg has curated Chef’s Kiss, the opening exhibition in a new concept store<\/a> dedicated to Norwegian art, design and culture.<\/p>\n

D142<\/a> is a shop and gallery located in Oslo’s Gr\u00fcnerl\u00f8kka neighbourhood, founded by Iranian-born photographer and stylist Neshat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Billed as “a vibrant meeting point where art, design and culture merge”, D142 offers a platform for young and emerging creatives across different disciplines.<\/p>\n

Berg<\/a> gathered the work of 20 artists and designers for the launch exhibition, aiming to showcase the diverse range of talent in the Norwegian capital.<\/p>\n

“Chef’s kiss is an expression of pure appreciation, \u2028a gesture to say something is simply excellent,” she said.<\/p>\n

“\u2028We’ve prepared a delicious tasting menu of art and design for you to enjoy. \u2028Bon app\u00e9tit!”<\/p>\n

Objects on show in the shop window include a plaster-coated stool by designer Nebil Zaman, a 3D-printed totem by digital artist Rasmus Stride, a table by designer Poppy Lawman<\/a> and a hanging textile by artist Ida Hagen.<\/p>\n

D142 opened its doors at the start of October and Neshat hopes it will become a hub of activity for Oslo’s art and design community.<\/p>\n

The founder has a wealth of experience to draw from. Born in Kurdistan, she worked in Milan, Shanghai and Beijing before moving to Oslo.<\/p>\n

\"ArtworksRemnants, an illustration by Esra R\u00f8ise, is among the wall-hung artworks<\/p>\n

“The aim of D142 is to create a platform that builds bridges between creative communities, invites dialogue and engagement, and highlights the diversity of expressions and the people behind them,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Through exhibitions, events and curated collections, we seek to increase visibility and appreciation for the Norwegian art and design scene, at a time when craftsmanship, sustainability and personal expression matter more than ever.”<\/p>\n

Other recent Oslo projects on Dezeen include a colourful podcast studio<\/a> and an artist’s home filled with design objects<\/a>.<\/p>\n
