The presentation of the Formex Nova Award is as usual one of the highlights during the Formex fall exhibition – it will take place on the first exhibition day August 20. Formex has established the Formex Nova Award – Nordic Designer of the Year, to promote high-quality Nordic design created by a still relatively unknown designer working in the Nordic interior design industry.
Formex – the largest and most important platform for Nordic design – will introduce a new product and hall layout in August as well as special theme days to discuss hot industry topics. "We are tightening our grip on Formex to adjust to an industry experiencing rapid change. This will also create new opportunities," says Lotta Ahlvar, Operative Event Manager for Formex.
The Nordic design award, Formex Nova, is being recognized at the DesignMarch International Design Festival, which is held in Reykjavik on March 28-31. This through an exhibition at The Nordic House in the middle of town where all the nominees of the year are presented, and last year's winner Ragna Ragnarsdóttir has her own department.
