Swedish Design Goes Milan at Milan Design Week 2013

Svensk Form joins the exhibition Swedish Design Goes Milan in Superstudio Più in Zona Tortona during April’s furniture fair in Milan.
The visitors will meet established companies as well as newcomers, designers and students, all sharing their unique stories, materials and processes, and giving the world a glimpse at current trends within Swedish design. The project was initiated by Möbelriket,
the furniture region in Småland where many of manufacturers are based, in collaboration with several public authorities. Svensk Form began the Swedish presence in Superstudio Più back in 2009, and we find that Swedish design, with its long tradition and humanistic perspective, is now more in demand than ever.
This time Svensk Form partners with Business Sweden to invite twelve smaller companies under the theme New Makers and Doers, thus continuing an ongoing discussion about how new production methods and distribution channels feed new entrepreneurs. In the
adjecent lounge, with Nola, Kateha and Gärsnäs, informal talks with the designers and companies will be held.
Sara Szyber is the curator. There is a vital variety of expressions, but what they all have in
common is their strive for independence in challenging times. Another common denominator in the pavilion at large is the closeness to nature in the northern lifestyle and climate, influencing our everyday lives as well as production.
Participating companies of New Makers and Doers: Folkform, Klong, Lith Lith Lundin, Lukas Dahlén, Sigrid Strömgren, Rumbler, Sami Kallio Studio, Snickeriet, Färg & Blanche, Studio Greiling, Very Very Gold, Woodstockholm
