Exhibition nov 16 – Jan 19
Young Swedish Design 2024
Futuristic folklore, colorful glass, and versatile modules were featured in this edition of the exhibition Young Swedish Design.
In Young Swedish Design 2024, 24 projects by young designers were showcased, highlighting craftsmanship, creativity, and a deep understanding of materials in various ways. The exhibition presented furniture, fashion, crafts, architecture, industrial design, and graphic design.
The works conveyed a multifaceted and joyful image of today’s young design scene, with a colorful, creative, and imaginative interpretation of our contemporary world. There were also examples of innovative problem-solving and climate-smart thinking, focusing on circularity, material flows, and the reuse of building components as resources for new production.
The exhibition Ung Svensk Form/Young Swedish Design 2024 was a co-production between Svensk Form and Dunkers kulturhus. The project was presented in association with Ikea of Sweden, Ikea Museum, The City of Malmö, Stockholm Furniture Fair, Swedish Wood and a raft of scholarship providers and exhibition organisers.
The exhibition was held at the Röhsska Museum from November 16, 2024, to January 19, 2025.

The Exhale Infection
I blow colourful glass bodies that proudly claim their space. A space that is no longer yours. Here, you step back and become the observer, and the new body occupies its sanctuary. The glass has designated its free zones, and they are blown precisely in these spots.

Petal
With Petal, I aimed to create a playful Pavilion made of sun chairs that, after disassembly, can revert to their original form. During the day, the pavilion is ”in full bloom” as the sun chairs open, providing a 360-degree bar view, and at night, it collapses to become a canvas for light projection.

A house without a date palm is not a home
A postage stamp enables movement from one place to another, akin to a passport for people who migrate. But what does it mean to leave one’s home and move to a place that neglects them, and who bears responsibility for packages that never find their way home?

Hybrid forms of dressing
2D jacquard-woven textiles that can be worn as 3D garments. Draped and pleated around the body, these full-body woven textiles create a new and holistic way of designing and producing textiles and garments locally.
