Theaterbaren Brand Identity

Theaterbaren is a public bar in the second-floor foyer of Nationaltheatret, the Oslo theatre that has staged Norwegian drama since 1899. The new bar had to respect a landmark building and its traditions while welcoming everyone, not only people holding tickets. Olssøn Barbieri's 2025 identity turns the theatre's rituals and unspoken rules into a shared performance, so an evening at the bar becomes a small part in the play.
