Mid-century design collectors are well-versed in Hans Wegner, Louis Poulsen, Marimekko, Bruno Matthson, and other Scandinavian greats. Now it's Norway's turn. The second annual Insidenorway presentation—which first appeared at ICFF thanks to Paul Makovsky of Metropolis magazine, Norsk Industri, the Royal Norwegian Embassy, and Innovation Norway—has made its way to Dwell on Design. From 21 product prototypes designed by up-and-coming young designers to the established children's design brand STOKKE to a new collection of modern blankets by Mandal Veveri, there's a lot happening at booth 1301. Check it out in person through June 23 at LA Convention Center, and click through to peep the highlights.
