Ung Svensk Form (Young Swedish Design) has a power and energy that are inspirational and eager to create change. Featuring skilled craftsmanship and an intuitive sense for materials, it shows what is happening within the young Swedish design scene of today.
Ung Svensk Form is an annual juried award and travelling exhibition that aims to increase and disseminate knowledge about young and innovative Swedish design. It focuses on the need to be able to create and explore freely, without any requirement to adapt the results to the market. Interdisciplinary work is encouraged. Scholarships are awarded to selected designers who have performed particularly well. Ung Svensk Form plays an important role as a forum for the emergence of encounters between designers, manufacturers and the public.
The project began in 1998 at the initiative of Svensk Form (The Swedish Society of Crafts and Design) and Form/Design Center in Malmö, and celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2018. Many participants from previous years are now well established in their respective fields.
“This year’s edition of Ung Svensk Form takes us on a thought-provoking and richly experiential journey into the borderland between utopia and dystopia. This may be the most conceptual edition of Ung Svensk Form since the project began in Malmö in 1998. It is clear that there is a strong need to comment on the uncertain contours of both the present and the future, whether that involves furniture design, visual communication or speculative design.”
