Northing / Kinakaal forlag

Founded by architect Ben Wenhou Yu and designer Yilei Wang, Northing is a multi-functional space focusing on exhibition, publication, design, cultural events and cross-cultural communication. Based in Bergen (NO) and with an East Asian cultural background, Northing is dedicated to promoting East Asian culture among artists and designers in Norway and vice versa. In 2019, Northing started its own publishing house Kinakaal Forlag, to explore the possibilities of paper-based publication projects. Kinakaal forlag has received two gold awards in Norway’s “Most Beautiful Books of the Year” competition (2021, 2022) and abC Art Book Award in 2022.
