We want to show the breadth of all that talent.\u201dNext week more than 300 exhibitors will showcase a mix of new and heritage products across venues ranging from a disused atomic bunker to the 19th-century auction house Bukowskis to the private apartment of a collector.There will be a strong nod to Sweden\u2019s design history. An exhibition at 20th-century Scandinavian furniture gallery Jackson Design takes a striking 1950s blue carpet by textile designer Astrid Sampe as its starting point. Arranged around it will be objects from the Jackson collection: \u201cpieces that, while crafted by familiar names, are perhaps lesser known or unexpected\u201d, says curator Lieke Penders.Collaborations between heritage brands and contemporary designers will be a key theme of the fair. Scottish born, Sweden-based designer David Taylor will exhibit 25 aluminium works at Bukowskis, while Swedish designer Monica F\u00f6rster has created huge floor pillows with Kasthall, one of the country\u2019s oldest rug manufacturers. Alexander Lervik drew inspiration from Art Deco and Bauhaus for his new collection with furniture makers Johanson Design, using AI to create 3D models.In Sweden, we have so many design areas \u2014 it\u2019s not just limited to furniture. We want to show the breadth of all that talentThere is also a blending of disciplines. \u201cThe fashion and design worlds are finally coming together,\u201d Heckscher says, noting the exhibition of clothes and furniture made by Swedish fashion designer Angelo da Silveira and sustainable textile company Ludvig Svensson. British multidisciplinary designer Faye Toogood will be the fair\u2019s guest of honour. \u201cFaye is a crossover designer, working in interiors, in furniture, in fashion. She\u2019s the perfect person to communicate our goal,\u201d Heckscher says.Sustainability is a priority. Heckscher, a designer and interior architect by training, is excited by the new upholstery by furniture brand Verk, \u201cthe first upholstery produced in Sweden with Swedish wool in 60 years\u201d, as well as screws made from Swedish raw materials. \u201cNew solutions\u201d by other emerging designers include lamps printed from corn starch, and food packaging and vases made from waste wood.\u00a0Heckscher only took over the directorship in August but has grand plans as the fair approaches its 75th anniversary next year. \u201cOur aim isn\u2019t to be the biggest furniture fair in the world, but certainly the best,\u201d he says.Stockholm Design Week, February 3-9; stockholmdesignweek.com; Stockholm Furniture Fair, February 4-8; stockholmfurniturefair.seFind out about our latest stories first \u2014 follow @ft_houseandhome on Instagram<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
