Your messages

We are a clothing brand that makes a living by selling clothes. But in one of the windows of our store in Grünerløkka, Oslo, you will never see advertisements for us or our products. We have donated the space to messages that inspire, provoke, and surprise, and that help move the world in a slightly better direction. Messages that you are passionate about but perhaps haven't gotten the attention they deserve.

Why are we doing this? Because we are tired of store windows that only aim to make people buy more. It’s mindless, boring, and often contributes to unnecessary consumption. Our new store in Grünerløkka is, like everything else we do, an arena for changing habits. This means we will challenge ourselves, our customers, the industry, and passersby to think differently and encourage them to do something they otherwise wouldn't. Maybe it can help change habits and the 'use-and-throw-away industry' in a slightly better direction.

CURRENT POSTER

The poster is changed once a month. Throughout November, this poster is displayed in the activist window.

Submitted by: Morten Lie

Translation:

"PREDATORS ARE SUSTAINABLE

Predators help preserve the natural ecosystem and contribute to balance in nature. If they disappear, it will lead to catastrophic consequences for nature and the animals that live in it."
