Sustain Able Voices – Young Swedish Design
The exhibition Sustain Able Voices consists of 23 selected works from the Young Swedish Design award (Ung Svensk Form) from 2004 – 2020. Ever since 1998, the jury for the Young Swedish Design award has been rewarding innovative transdisciplinary design. Many of the works in the exhibition solve practical challenges in the everyday, while others lean towards art and fashion. In recent years, however, the environment and climate have come more and more into focus.
The exhibition consists of 24 prints, 4 selected designer artwork photos, 2 designer videos, 1 interview video and 1 optional medley video with all the designer projects. Physical design objects might be available upon request.
The exhibition Sustain Able Voices is a co-production by Svensk Form and the IKEA Museum and is shown internationally in collaboration with the Swedish Institute.
