Malmstens Linköping University presented its Spring Exhibition 2023 at Stockholm Creative Edition, showcasing graduating students’ furniture and craft projects.
The exhibition demonstrated how Sweden’s premier furniture and craft design program continues producing skilled makers and innovative designers.
Founded by master craftsman Carl Malmsten in 1930, Malmstens maintains rigorous education in traditional woodworking, upholstery, and furniture design.
Students develop exceptional hand skills while exploring contemporary design thinking, creating unique synthesis of craft mastery and innovation.
The spring exhibition represents culmination of intensive study where students design and build complete furniture pieces from concept through finished execution. This hands-on approach produces graduates who understand materials, construction, and design holistically.
Stockholm Creative Edition provided ideal platform for these emerging talents, connecting students with design professionals, manufacturers, and potential collaborators. The exhibition format allows visitors to appreciate craftsmanship details and design thinking that define Malmstens’ educational philosophy.
