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.

Financial support
Applications for projects in April to December 2023
Due to the extraordinarily high number of toolkit applications, and a limited budget, we are unable to grant any further financial support for toolkits in 2023 with the exception of toolkit applications with following purposes:
– Higher education promotion
– Sweden alumni relations
– Sweden 500 celebrations (maximum of 5 000 SEK)
– The Nobel Prize (a limited numer of applications)
You can of course also use all material on sharingsweden.se but without funding from us.
Swedish embassies and consulates may apply for financial support of maximum SEK 40,000 for production of the printed material, language translation and travel costs and remuneration for Swedish guest speaker(s). Part of the sum applied for should be used for inviting Swedish guest speaker(s).
For projects aiming to strengthen cooperation in the Baltic Sea Region the level of financial support is limited to a maximum of SEK 100,000. Up to 30 per cent of the granted sum may be used for external project management.
Initiatives that include the exhibition in combination with lectures and/or workshop will be prioritised.
