Ung Svensk Form 2019 – Meet the winners and scholarship recipients
It is our great pleasure at Svensk Form to present the 25 young designers who have won this year's national design award Ung Svensk Form. Among the 25 participants are also the three designers who have received scholarships from our partners IKEA, Folkhem and Kvadrat. The exhibition will be shown at ArkDes from 5 February to 31 March 2019.
– The selection in Ung Svensk Form 2019 highlights young creatives who have chosen to express themselves through their own unique language, and who often assert their position in the present, whether it is an attack on conventions, the dissolution of fashion or the variability of the landscape in these times of climate change, says Mats Widbom, CEO of Svensk Form.
– Ung Svensk Form has a unique power and energy to influence and bring about change, to highlight issues, and encourage meetings and discussions. The exhibition displays powerful messages, craftsmanship and a world-class sense of material, says Karin Wiberg, project manager at Ung Svensk Form.

About Ung Svensk Form (Young Swedish Design)
Ung Svensk Form is an annual juried award and a travelling exhibition whose purpose is to broaden and deepen knowledge about young and innovative Swedish design. Ung Svensk Form highlights our desire to create and explore freely, without the need for market adaptation. The project was initiated in 1998 by Svensk Form and Form/Design Center in Malmö. Many of our previous participants are now well established in their respective areas. Ung Svensk Form / Young Swedish Design 2019 is a co-production by Svensk Form (The Swedish Society of Crafts and Design), ArkDes, IKEA and The City of Malmö.
