SDS – Swedish Design Cooperation
SDS, Swedish Design Cooperation, is an informal network of the country’s main design organizations within our various trades . Our starting point is the experience and knowledge sharing, to discuss the design concept and the need for an official design policy for Sweden . One of the early objectives of the SDS was to influence and inform policy makers about the added value that design can create for business and society. Design can profoundly enhance the competitiveness of Swedish industry.
Members are Svensk Form, SVID, Swedish Industrial Design Foundation, Swedish Association of Architects, the Swedish Designer , Craftsmen and Designers’ Organisation, KHVC The Craftscenter, The association of Swedish illustrators and graphic designers, KOMM , ASFB (Association for Swedish Fashion Brands), Swedish Fashion Council, Disk – Designer in Skåne.
