At Formex, which will be held August 20-23, an object’s inherent energy will be in the spotlight in a unique exhibition created by world-famous trend expert Li Edelkoort. The inspiration behind the exhibition, which will fill Stockholmsmässan’s entire entrance hall, is animism – the belief that even inanimate objects could have a soul.
Announcing Formex’s spring design talents! The designers who were selected work with a wide range of materials, including everything from hand-blown glass and natural leather to something as exciting as compostable coffee grounds. Design Talents, previously called Young Designers, will highlight unestablished artists and designers at the Formex interior and design fair on January 17-20.
“A World of Shapes” is the theme of the spring Formex interior design fair, which will be held January 17 20, 2018. Inspired by artist David Hockney, the theme revolves around different interior objects that form still lifes and new groupings to create innovative, playful forms and constellations.
The Formex interior design fair is the venue of choice for the best in Nordic home and interior design. That’s why Formex offers its own design award that showcases the best contemporary design. In the competition, Formex allows an expert jury to both select nominees and award the winner. The fair also gathers feedback from the general public – the People’s Choice – on the Formex website.
Several of Europe’s leading design and interiors magazines will be coming to Formex interior design fair which will be held August 23-26, including Wallpaper (UK), Frame (NL), ELLE Deco (NL) and Schöner Wohnen (G).
Interior design fair Formex held August 23-26 2017, welcomes 21 bright talents to the area Young Designers, a platform for young, up-and-coming designers. The contrast between form and material, cultural encounters, and the tools of the craft all act as sources of inspiration for some of the designers who will be exhibiting at this fall’s edition.
Nordic Space was the theme of the most recent Formex. The next Formex in August will be inspired by the same theme, but with one major difference – instead of looking outward, the reference to “space” turns inward. “we present the season’s main theme for interiors and design as well as three current trends,” says Christina Olsson, Project Area Manager for Formex.
