Presenting the winners of Ung Svensk Form 2024!

Futuristic folklore, heavy soap bubbles and versatile modules with flexible joints – Ung Svensk Form 2024 features everything from childbirth instructions to zero waste with maximum design. Here are this year's winners in Ung Svensk Form!

On February 6, Ung Svensk Form 2024 will premiere in the Greenhouse at the Stockholm Furniture Fair. As usual, the sources of inspiration are boundless. From outfits with astronomical signs to a chaise longue with shapes resembling sleeping seals and the history of the Orsa costume from finery to a scrub bucket. Add gardens adorned with earth and sand, a sculptural exploration of colonial connotations, and a costume construction with silhouettes enough for an entirely new body language, and you get a taste of the energy that permeates the young creative scene today.

– The winners of this year's Ung Svensk Form exhibit high design quality and creative problem-solving. They dare to experiment, question, and challenge, and they do it with a sense of detail, material, and aesthetics. They are not just young Swedish designers; they are also young Swedish designers with a sustainable vision, says Björn Nordin, CEO of Svensk Form (formerly Head of Architecture and Design at Svensk Trä).

Opening and Scholarship Award
On February 6 at 10:00, we will inaugurate the exhibition in Greenhouse – the fair's most international and visionary area. The opening is followed by the awarding of Ung Svensk Form scholarships. The scholarships offer the recipient a direct and tangible experience of the industry and include work, travel, and exhibition scholarships from IKEA of Sweden, Kvadrat, PostNord Frimärken, Röhsska Museet, and Dynamo Väst, Stiftelsen för Garverinäringens Främjande, Stockholm Furniture Fair, String Furniture and Swedish Wood.

– Every year, I am equally humble in the face of the overwhelming number of applications we receive for Ung Svensk Form. Among the fraction presented through the jury's selection, you can see the courage, honest striving, and creative power that characterize young creators today. They grapple with important issues but do so with inspiration and joy – the results show how the opportunity for change is never more than a thought away, says Karin Wiberg, project manager for Ung Svensk Form.

About Ung Svensk Form:
Since Ung Svensk Form started in 1998, the jury-evaluated award and traveling exhibition have evolved into Sweden's most important forum for designers early in their careers. Today, the exhibition serves as a meeting place where designers, industry, the public, and media converge around contemporary issues and how design can be part of the solution.

The exhibition Ung Svensk Form / Young Swedish Design 2024 is a co-production between Svensk Form and Dunkers kulturhus. The project is presented in association with IKEA of Sweden, IKEA Museum, The City of Malmö, Stockholm Furniture Fair, Swedish Wood and a raft of scholarship providers and exhibition organizers.
