The 2022 version of London Craft Week saw many outstanding creative experiments from emerging and established makers, designers, and artists. Both local and international visionaries grace the stage of this week-long festival.

The Oslo-based Python was part of this year's London Craft Week and the collective spotlighted "more than 50 examples of Norwegian art, design, and craft." Aptly titled 'Python Place,' the exhibition—which was presented from 11th until 15th of May at Cromwell Place—highlighted sophisticated Norwegian modernism and the influences of [Bauhaus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lammhults) on Norwegian design.

Python Place focuses on [form, material use](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maison-rhizomes), and the intellectual concepts the exhibiting artists, designers, and makers employed. The exhibiting space itself—a Georgian apartment—makes for the perfect site for this event as its paired back aesthetic makes for a great backdrop for the objects.
