The world's biggest meeting place for Scandinavian furniture and lighting design now has a new communicative platform. "This will further strengthen the brand and give us the opportunity to clarify the link between Stockholm Furniture Fair, Northern Light Fair and Stockholm Design Week," says Event Manager Cecilia Nyberg.
For the ninth year running, an international designer will be responsible for creating a lounge in the Stockholmsmässan entrance hall. This time the task falls to French industrial and product designer Inga Sempé, who has won much attention and appreciation for her designs.
On February 8th, 2011 at 3pm, ung8 – young swedish design is launched at the Greenhouse section of Stockholm’s Furniture Fair. The two awards sponsored by the Auctionhouse Lauritz.com will be presented. Thereafter the exhibition will tour Sweden and internationally, stopping in Stockholm, London, Malmö, Athens, Gothenberg, Sundsvall, Cyprus and then onto other unknown destinations.
Arik Levy, this year’s Guest of Honor, has been called both a scientist and a poet. He will be creating a relaxing lounge that encourages human contact in the Stockholmsmässan entrance hall. This is the eighth time that Stockholm Furniture Fair and Northern Light Fair have invited a well-known international designer to create a lounge space.
