Skapat för att hålla / Made to Last

In a world shaped by fast-moving trends and mass production, duodje, the traditional Sámi craft practice, offers something genuine: a deep connection to nature, knowledge, and cultural heritage. During this lunch event, we will meet Sámi artisans (duodjára) and explore duodje as a process rather than simply a product. Through sustainable natural materials, generations of knowledge, and a holistic approach to making, we gain insight into why duodje can be seen as the ultimate expression of quality, sustainability, and true luxury. This event is by invitation only.
