Ung Svensk Form 2023

FORM & Folk and Svensk Form Väst present Ung Svensk Form 2023 at the Textile Museum of Sweden. The exhibition presents the 23 winners of Young Swedish Design, now celebrating its 25th year. They invite the audience to reflecton whatdesign can do for people and societies. And they do it with furniture, fashion, architecture, industrial design, craft and graphic design.

This year’s line-up is brimming with circular ingenuity – leftovers are turned into furniture by humans and bark beetles alike, waste products ranging from the sun to baby clothing are put to good use, and disassembled spills from previous constructions are given new life. Complete with thought-provoking depictions of our digital lives and all-in-one solutions for clothing and interiors, Ung Svensk Form provides a sampling of our time’s most pressing issues.

Ung Svensk Form 2023 is a co-production between Svensk Form and IKEA Museum. The project is carried out in collaboration with IKEA of Sweden, the City of Malmö, Stockholm Furniture Fair, Swedish Wood and a long list of exhibition organisers and scholarship donors. The exhibition opens in February 2023 at Greenhouse during Stockholm Furniture Fair.

About Ung Svensk Form

Ung Svensk Form is an arena for young design. The project was created with the aim of increasing the knowledge and widening the scope of new, innovative Swedish design; helping it reach new audiences.

The exhibition offers designers a possibility to meet the audience and manufacturers, a chance to initiate dialogue and establish new contacts.

The project was initiated by Svensk Form and Form/Design Center in 1998.

Ung Svensk Form is a co production between Svensk Form (The Swedish Society of Crafts and Design) and IKEA Museum in collaboration with Kulturhuset Stadsteatern and the City of Malmö.

The previous exhibitions created quite a stir both in Sweden and internationally, many of the past exhibitors are well established within their fields today.


This exhibition is shown in the Small Exhibition Hall on the second floor.
