The promise of creativity in focus at Stockholm Design Talks

During the Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair in February 2015, moderators, speakers and panelists from around the world will participate in the Stockholm Design Talks, the Fair's forum for knowledge and discussions concerning design. The theme of the upcoming Stockholm Design Talks is “Tales of Creativity”.

Concepts such as interior design, furniture and design contain in themselves a picture of and a promise of creativity. It is that promise that in large part drives the industry forward. Stockholm Design Talks highlight the theme of creativity from several different angles in interior design, product design, education, etc. We will also hear some very creative people explain how they work.
-   Cecilia Nyberg, Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair Event Manager
