Steen & Strøm - Oslo Department Store
These are uncertain times. Times where it’s impossible to predict what’s next. Through this season’s window installation, “What’s Next?”, Steen & Strøm Department Store in Oslo wanted to spark some joy and bring through different types of light. Just what we need when summer slowly turns to fall. Seen through the eyes of a young artist, Tharadon, Steen & Strøm will shed some light of hope in the autumn windows. Tharadon has created a series of different narratives of light through installation art. In the windows you can find light from stars, light pixels, light that comes alive, as well as choreography, bridge and lastly a mountain of light. One thing we are certain will last, is that fashion will remain one of the truest forms of self-expression, and the brands highlighted in the autumn 2020 windows are definitely a symbol of this. Since its inception in 1797 Steen & Strøm Department Store has collected the best of continental shopping. With a history spanning over more than 220 years, Steen & Strøm has become known as the institution responsible for introducing Norwegian, Scandinavian and international brands to the Norwegian customer. The department store’s distinctive architecture mixes historical elements with modern design and stylish stores resulting in unique atmosphere you cannot find anywhere else in Norway. No wonder Steen & Strøm has become a source for inspiration both in terms of trends and lifestyle. Currently Steen & Strøm is the only department store in Norway maintaining the tradition of conducting window installations. People would travel from all over the country to see the unveiling of the Christmas windows. It may therefore not come as a surprise to hear that Steen & Strøm holds a special place in the locals’ hearts and has a tradition for being the city’s meeting point. A tradition they plan on maintaining for at least 223 more years. Take a look at the windows, enjoy the different sources for light and hopefully they will brighten your day while you are trying to figure out “What’s Next?”
