Stockholm Design Week is kicking off next week

Monday, February 8 marks the start of Stockholm Design Week. This year it will take a slightly different form with design activities in the city mixed with digital events online. Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair City & Digital Edition has various components, from the open showrooms across the city, where exhibitors that usually take part in the physical fair showcase their products, to the digital platforms for the Greenhouse, Stockholm Design & Architecture Talks and the conference on the workplaces of the future - WorkSpace Sweden. Highlights of the week include the announcement of this year’s Born Classic prize, exhibitions such as Misschiefs Takeover, Young Swedish Design at Kulturhuset, the TAKEAWAY pop-up at Galleri Duerr and the online portfolio for the Greenhouse.

Stockholm Design & Architecture Talks, February 10–11
This year’s Stockholm Design & Architecture Talks will all be online.
