Design Week occupies Stockholm week 6

By on January 22, 2018

The Stockholm Design Week and Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair combination means that Week 6 is now a calendar booking with buyers, architects, designers and journalists from around the world. With the trade fair as a hub, the whole city is celebrating a 200 event, installations and parties. This year’s Design Week also presents a unique lighting installation in Kungsträdgården.

The first design week was completed in 2002 and has grown to include more than 200 design-related events held at various locations around the city. Most of the exhibitions are open to everyone.

– Our ambition is that Stockholm should be the obvious display window for Scandinavian design. For us it is important that our visitors get such a positive overall experience of the week as possible. The design week serves as an industry-leading meeting place also outside the Stockholm Fair Hall. In cooperation with Stockholm City and the industry, we are working to further develop the week. Among other things, by broadening the design content of Design Week to include fashion, food and architecture. At the same time, I hope that all design enthusiasts will come to the fair to see the latest in design on Saturday when we are open to everyone, says Cecilia Nyberg, Project Manager for Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair and Stockholm Design Week.

Here is an selection of exhibitions that can be seen by everyone:

This initiative of Stockholm Design Week is one of several future design installations in town.
