A library in Norway designed by Kengo Kuma features in today’s Dezeen Weekly newsletter

The latest edition of our Dezeen Weekly newsletter includes a library in Norway designed by Kengo Kuma and Associates in collaboration with Mad Arkitekter.

Ibsen Library will be built in a park in Skien, Norway, and will become a cultural hub to exhibit the literature of Henrik Ibsen – a 19th-century playwright who was born in the Norwegian city.

Readers are delighted by the design, with one calling it, “Epic and understated at the same time”.

Other stories in this week’s newsletter include a lamp for IKEA that is shaped like an oversized Allen key, our latest lookbook featuring eleven stylish home offices and a pair of digital trainers designed by Gucci.
