At the Formex interior design and gifts exhibition on January 14-17, 2015, the Nordic kitchen will be in the spotlight at the exhibition's pop-up restaurant, which this time will be called Nordic Eat. In creating the area, the food has as much importance as the interior design.
At the Formex interior design and gifts exhibition on January 14-17, 2015, the trend for the spring is Nordic Neat. It is precise, neat, clean and attractive.

Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair is inviting, for the twelfth year running, a highly acclaimed international designer or design studio to create a lounge in Stockholmsmässan’s entrance hall. This time, the assignment goes to Ilse Crawford, a designer, academic and creative director with the goal of putting people's needs and desires at the center of everything she does.
In 2015 Note Design Studio will design Greenhouse, Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair's hall for promising young designers. A visit to Greenhouse should be like stepping into a designer’s mind – a space for reflection and projection of dreams. For the next Fair, which will take place from February 3-7, 2015, Greenhouse also has a new jury.
