Female Traces – Female furniture designers through 100 years
The exhibition Female Traces highlights both historical pioneers from the 20th century and women in today’s young designer generation. With a generous selection of Swedish and international material, the exhibition provides a picture of the importance that female designers have had for the development of modern and contemporary design.

The exhibition shows furniture such as chairs, armchairs, shelves and tables by, among others, Aino Aalto, Mia Cullin, Kerstin Hörlin-Holmquist, Monica Förster, Eileen Gray, Lena Larsson, Karin Mobring and Charlotte Perriand.
FEBRUARY 5 – APRIL 24

In their new interpretation of the tabouret, Folkform’s ambition is to challenge the classic shape drawn by Bruno Mathsson by means of combining materials and techniques in new ways. The covering is made of leather from the Tärnsjö tannery and in the same dark brown tone used for the benches Folkform designed for the National Museum in 2018. The legs are pigmented with varnish in dark brown.

The Ambassador of Sweden will open up her Residence at Portland Place for a Swedish design exhibition. The magnificent architecture of Robert and James Adam will shed a new light on the contemporary shapes of Swedish design for one of the first events during the Design Festival. Folkform will exhibit limited edition pieces of lamps and candle holders in brass and bronze and selected glass pieces from the Industrial Intervention exhibition.

To read more click here

The exhibition Industrial Intervention started off with a trip to the old glassworks in the Czech countryside. The new pieces explore the collision between mass-produced and handmade articles, where crafts meet industry, the machine meets the hand. Can something new be created when traditional handicraft is incorporated into existing industrial manufacturing processes?
