14 Highlights From Stockholm Design Week Worth Writing Home About
We share the must-see exhibitions, installations, and events from Stockholm Design Week and the 70th celebration of the Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair.
Famna 2020
Estrid Ericson founded Svenskt Tenn in 1924, but the furniture company wouldn’t gain widespread acclaim until architect and designer Josef Frank joined her in 1934. This year, Svenskt Tenn launched the Famna 2020 sofa with Stockholm-based studio TAF. Inspired by the experience of reclining in a bathtub, it’s the first contemporary design Svenskt Tenn has released since the 1980s.

Flora Collection
Malmstenbutiken, the showroom of historic furniture designer Carl Malmsten now in its 80th year, unveiled its Flora Collection. Designed in collaboration with Eva Schildt and Örsjö Belysning, the eight-piece collection serves as a subtle modernization of Malmstenbutiken’s original lighting designs.
The plant screens are handcrafted by Vanja Sorbon Malmsten, the great granddaughter of Malmsten himself.

Color Accent
In an effort to redefine the color palette often associated with Swedish design, Design House Stockholm launched the boldly hued Color Accent collection. The collection draws inspiration from the work of designer Karin Larsson. Karin’s husband, Carl, arguably Sweden’s most famed painter, frequently depicted their family home, celebrating Karin’s eye for vivid color.
Color Accent includes nine pieces in four rich colorways.
