History
Opened19 February 1978

Furuset is an Oslo Metro station in the Furuset borough. It is the penultimate station on the Furuset Line, between Lindeberg and Ellingsrudåsen. The station is located under a fairly large shopping centre, and there is also a small bus terminal above the station. Architects were Økaw Arkitekter.

Furuset was opened on 19 February 1978 when the line was extended from Trosterud. It was the end station until 8 November 1981 when the line was completed to Ellingsrudåsen.
