One of my personal highlights from the week: ‘Heritage’ by Luca Nichetto – a sublime Murano glass lighting collection inspired by Josef Frank’s ‘Terrazzo’ textile, comissioned by Svenskt Tenn. - 摄影 @ Nick Hughes.
Another favourite from the week: an exciting collaborative exhibition by Bukowskis x Magniberg dubbed ”Sie Wohnen Hier”. Antiques meet, and sometimes clash with contemporary design and art, creating a delicious visual tension. - 摄影 @ Nick Hughes.

Stockholm’s snowy rooftops (swoon!) and me (Dana) with Berryl Hsu, IDEAT China and Costas on our way to present the Editor’s Choice Awards at Stockholm Furniture Fair. “Guys, let’s go!”. - 摄影 @ Nick Hughes.
Ahhh, snowy Stockholm… You’re all right, you know. 摄影 @ Nick Hughes.Sooooo….. We finally made it to Stockholm this year, you guys. Can you believe it? Except, at this point, the whole trip already feels like a distant memory, but boy was it real while we were there. The invite to Stockholm came back in early June last year, when I was asked to take part in Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair’s 4th annual Editor’s Choice Awards for Rising Star, Best Stand and Best Product at the fair. How could I refuse, of course, especially given that Stockholm is only an easy 24-hour flight from Sydney? Ha! But for us, Aussies, pretty much everywhere if far away, so I jumped at the opportunity to visit the design event that’s been very high on my radar for the last few years.
This year’s guests of honour at Stockholm Furniture Fair 2019 – Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu of Shanghai-based Neri&Hu – were invited to create an installation inside the entrance foyer of the fair 摄影 @ Nick Hughes.
Neri&Hu’s spectacular oil stained timber installation was the duo’s way of highlighting the social issues in China to an international audience – i.e. the country’s disappearing villages, rural life and rich folklore. - 摄影 @ Nick Hughes.

Design Bar by Norwegian studio Anderssen & Voll was inspired by Scandinavian atriums and Japanese aesthetics. The structure encircled an intimate courtyard, which set the stage for the restaurant/ bar and Stockholm Design & Architecture Talks. - 摄影 @ Nick Hughes.

Beautiful stand and product by new to me rug brand Ogeborg. Stand designed by Note Design Studio. 摄影 @ Nick Hughes.As someone who’s watched Stockholm Furniture Fair & Design Week closely from afar (an oxymoron, I realise), I had high expectations from the week that’s been leaving a steady trail of Scandinavian Design Bombs all over the internet. So naturally, my expectations were high. The fair was a fantastic opportunity to see Scandinavian brands on home turf. The fair itself is intimate, (mostly) really beautifully presented and well edited. Although perhaps not the most groundbreaking design event of them all, the fair presents a fantastic snapshot of where Scandinavian design and all of its major brands are at right now. Anyway, there’s so much more I could bang on about (you guys know me, right?) but I will let Nick’s amazing photos do most of the talking, with perhaps some of my comment in the captions help you navigate all the wonderful things we saw during the week.

Favourite new discovery – Vieser x Durat. Durat is a composite material made of 30% recycled plastic. The product, which itself is 100% recyclable, is manufactured by crushing the recycled plastic into granules, creating interesting, 3D surfaces with a warm, silky feel. This durable material is cast into sheets with almost three hundred colour tones and nine different prints available. - 摄影 @ Nick Hughes.
NM& – A New Collection produced for Swedish Nationalmuseum stole the show at this year’s fair. 摄影 @ Nick Hughes.
Somewhat controversially, the entire collection was awarded the Editor’s Choice in the best product category. 摄影 @ Nick Hughes.
Based on the selection shown at the stand dedicated to the ‘NM& – A New Collection’, the design editor’s made the unprecedented decision to give the prize to the whole project. Many of the products on display could have won the best product prize in their own right, so the jury felt the only fair decision was to give the prize to the entire collection, and at the same time acknowledge the brilliant result of the incredibly successful collaboration. 摄影 @ Nick Hughes.

Also, just in case this post wasn’t epic enough (hahaha, again, you know me – never accused of under-sharing!), I wanted to give you a little overview of some of my favourite new products released at Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair and Stockholm Design Week. So much Scando goodness, and a little bit more scrolling to do. Love always,

First Symptoms by Kustaa Saksi.
Extraordinary tapestries by Amsterdam-based Finish artist and designer Kustaa Saksi (previously) dubbed First Symptoms. The six unique pieces were made using Jacquard weaving techniques, inspired by the texture from the scientific examination and Saksi ‘s personal experience of migraines. I just don’t know what to say about any of this, other than – fucking WOW man! Photos by Jussi Puikkonen.

Owl Floor Lamp by Canadian designer Jamie Wolfond. The design originated from the designer’s fascination with drinking straws – the lamp uses a flexible hose to transmit rotary motion to its shade. This allows for the shade to orbit 360 degrees around the bulb simply by rotating any part of the lamp’s stem.
Jamie Wolfond’s Pal Series utilizes bent laminated timber surfaces as an integral part of the collection’s structure. The result is a lightweight stackable chair, bench and dining table that can be shipped flat and assembled in seconds.
The Neotenic Collection by NYC-based design practice Jumbo. The collection is founded by simple shapes, short thick members, soft edges, and a clumsy appearance, “appealing to our biological imperative to nurture— to see ourselves in our surroundings and cherish the childlike.”
Neotenic Floor Light by JUMBO.
Bacteria lamp by German-born, Stockholm-based industrial designer Jan Klingler. I know what you’re thinking – eww, how gross, and I have to admit that I mirror your sentiment, but somehow these little fuckers are really starting to grow on me… Geddit?
In a crossover between science, art, and industrial design, the bacteria lamp centres on the idea that every living being and place has its own unique and personal microbiological fingerprint.
Klingler suggests that samples can be taken from people, places or things that hold a position of importance, and are then grown into a unique piece in the form of commissioned work. May it be the location of a first date, a personal souvenir from a memorable journey, or the reminder of loved one far away – the possibilities are as individual as each one of us. Like I said, eww slash wow.
Bacteria lamp by Jan Klingler.
Hand felted wool blankets by Turkish designer Begüm Cana Özgür.
Begüm Cana Özgür’s Haze flat weave rug collection, handwoven by traditional Anatolian weavers.
Lotus floor seating by Begüm Cana Özgür – a flat rug with a cutting pattern that can be shaped into a 3d piece of furniture.
Begüm Cana Özgür is driven by the importance of the emotional bonds formed through the objects. He work explores the qualities that lend a deeper relationship with the user. Özgür’s pieces interpret the local craft traditions of her home country Turkey, but with a contemporary expression.
Winners of the Editor’s Choice Award 2019, Rising Star Category, DIGITALAB is a Portuguese architecture office and design studio, focused on generative design and digital fabrication. Led by Ana Fonseca and Brimet Silva, the young practice develops projects in the areas of product design, art installation, interior design, architecture and digital research.
The duo’s creative exploration of an underused natural material was truly inspiring – in particular, the way they’ve used cork to produce a beautiful fabric that can be used to create various products.图片 © Nick Hughes/ Yellowtrace. Product images courtesy of designers & brands. - 转载自：Yellowtrace
