Residence Magazine Form Award 2022
We are so happy that the l’art Plissé Lamp series by Folkform has been awarded the Residence Magazine Form Award 2022 in the category lighting of the year.
Motivation: A sophisticated jewel of light that brings the somewhat neglected handcraft of pleating to the fore in a contemporary setting.
Thank you!

Folkform’s new interpretation of the Tabouret ”Anna” originally designed by Bruno Mathsson in 1945
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.

Folkform Cabinets at Artipelag
Artipelag 14 juni 2013 till 21 augusti 2013
Folkform is invited to Artipelag
Designers and architects have traditionally been inspired by nature and used wood as an important design material. Amongst Swedish designers, the popularity of wood has waxed and waned over time – culminating in the hysterical 1970s pine mania, when every kitchen table was made of a thick solid wood top and {---}
untreated pine was the finest one could have. But eventually the world had enough! Wood became just about banned by designers for a pretty a long time. Pine-haters took over. However, now, in the tracks of ecological and environmental awareness, the woods have become accepted again and designers – not just in Sweden but everywhere – have taken wood to new heights. This new wave of wood’s popularity is expressed in this summer’s large design exhibition: One, Two, Tree! – Artipelag’s first all-design exhibition. On nearly 13,000 square feet, we let the woods into the living room, mix high with low, house with milking stool, boats with playhouses, and particleboard with hardwood.
