DescriptionThe canteen with Edvard Munch paintings at the Freia chocolate factory in Oslo, photographed for The World of Interiors Magazine.
“Back in the 1920s, the space was transformed with works by Edvard Munch — bringing art into the everyday lives of factory workers, who still gather and eat beneath these paintings today. It’s a rare and powerful intersection of industry, culture, and daily ritual. The canteen still carries traces of its history: workers smoked there until 1995, and there is nicotine on the paintings — perhaps even cacao powder. These paintings have shaped the room they inhabit.”
