Nordic Kicks is the spring theme at Formex, the Nordic region’s largest trade fair for interior design and gifts.

The exhibition contains three spatial environments that have been inspired in part by geometric games, churches and display windows.
For the third consecutive year, Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair is arranging Stockholm Design Talks, the fairs own forum for knowledge and discussions within the area of design. The theme for 2016 is Scandinavia Now, and shines a light on topics and projects that are happening now.

Below are some of the experimental and ground-breaking products that will be on show, including handicrafts made from iron netting, designs with emotional functionality and shaped, sustainable soap.
This spring’s theme at the Formex interior design and gifts exhibition, Nordic Kicks, approaches our design heritage from several new angles. We design our interiors with a personal touch and a lot of color as well as with warmth and artistic sensitivity. The trend theme can be summarized by the phrase, "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, something given".

“Kyuhyung Cho&Erik Olovsson are awarded Formex Nova for the playful collaboration in their three collections Room, Sine and Numbers. With a fusion of graphic elements and architectural volumes, the creations of these two designers are characterized by contrasts between light and heavy, discipline and playfulness, and 2- and 3-dimensionality, conjuring up a feeling of opposites in perfect balance.”
