Here Are the Selected Talents for Formex Design Talents January 2025

On January 17, Formex – the Nordic region's most important meeting place for interior design – opens its doors. As usual, selected designers will showcase their products in the Formex Design Talents area. One of these designers will also be awarded the title “Best in Show.” The award goes to the designer who stands out most in terms of idea, design, and presentation and will be announced on the opening day.

Design Talents is one of Formex's most exciting features, where talented but yet-to-be-established designers from Sweden and abroad can apply for a spot to showcase their design solutions and products at the fair. A jury selects the entries displayed at the exhibition, and one participant also has the chance to win the competition’s first prize, "Best in Show. In August, the award went to Albamatilde for their tufted artworks.

"Design Talents is one of the most significant parts of Formex for exhibitors, visitors, and the media alike. Many now well-known brands and designers got their first chance to present their work and connect with their first customers and retailers here – a crucial start for a successful career. At the same time, Design Talents serves as a kind of barometer for the design world, providing us with valuable insights. For instance, this year we’ve noticed a continuing trend of tufted objects and a large number of applications from ceramicists," says Sonja Björk Ebert, Project Manager for Formex.
