A new exhibition, Ung Svensk Form, opened at the Form Design Centre in Malmö on Friday. It is a show by young Swedish designers and includes textiles, ceramics and glass, furniture, jewellery and fashion.
This is a competition and exhibition that has been staged ten times by Svensk Form since 1998 and many previous exhibitors are now well established either within the Swedish design professions or internationally. It is open to students and to young designers under 36. As well as the exhibition of their works which go on tour, designers are awarded scholarships, practical placements and workshops to gain more experience and an understanding of production processes.
The works included prototypes and concepts to show artistic experimentation.
Charlie Styrbjörn - Ladder produced by Gebrüder Thonet of Vienna and his Part Goat chair
Umami table and service - dining table in ash with powder coated steel legs and glasses and dinnerware which have rounded bases by Sofia Almqvist
Snow Shoe Chair by Hampus Penttinen
Jacquard-woven waffle binding by Matilda Dominique
A list of the designers and a copy of the exhibition catalogue are available on line.
The competition and exhibition are supported by IKEA and the Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair.
The exhibition continues at Form/Design Center in Malmö until 7 June
