art organization Slow Space asked Franceschini to launch something similar in Oslo, so she
called upon some of her favorite collaborators, including architect Lode Vranken and chef Boris Portnoy, to help her.

Art & Design Studio, and design heavy - hitter IDEO, festival organizers put out a

public spaces.
