Format was founded in 1991 and is a leading gallery for contemporary crafts and design in Norway. It is an exhibition and sales venue of the finest artistic quality within the material-based arts. The gallery aims to strengthen the position of Norwegian contemporary crafts and design internationally, and through working with both established and emerging artists the gallery reflects the variety in contemporary crafts and design today.
