\u201cWe are happy that the ring can finally be launched. The designer and retailer worked quite well together. Now it will be exciting to see how much interest there is. I think many people think it’s nice to have a ring as a symbol of their connection to their time at NTNU,\u201d said Sigrun Berge Engen, Director of NTNU\u2019s Communication Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI saw the competition notice and thought for a few days about how I could create a design that met all the requirements in the competition notice. I got the idea one day when I was on my way home from a lecture and it was raining. I saw the drops in the puddles on the asphalt and thought, there’s my idea!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
