10.30am – frank in the loom
The beloved Swedish heritage brand Svenkst Tenn, 140 years after the birth of designer and longtime collaborator Frank Josef, is showing an in-store exhibition as an homage to Josef.
Titled Frank in the Loom, the show features a collection of handwoven rag rugs crafted from repurposed textiles originally designed by Josef, combined with Svenskt Tenn’s signature linen – Jane Englefield
10.15am – dezeen dispatch
On the eve of Stockholm Design Week, Dezeen hosted a welcome dinner at the National Museum.
Staged in partnership with Nordic Nest, the dinner took place in the grand environs of the museum’s Södra Ljusgården and brought together international journalists and Stockholm’s design community.
Throughout the evening, representatives from Nordic brands Iittala, Fritz Hansen, Audo Copenhagen, Gärsnäs and Louis Poulsen introduced new products to the audience.
The evening culminated in the unveiling of Dezeen’s new print publication, Dezeen Dispatch.
Guests keenly perused their copies, including Claesson Koivisto Rune’s Eero Koivisto who gave it a solid thumbs up – Max Fraser
10:00am – hej Stockholm!
Dezeen’s editorial director Max Fraser, editor-at-large Amy Frearson, deputy editor Cajsa Carlson, design editor Jennifer Hahn, social editor Clara Finnigan and design and interiors reporter Jane Englefield are on the ground in Stockholm reporting from Stockholm Design Week (SDW).
Dezeen is hosting a series of events in the city this year, including our Design Disruptors talks, the Dezeen Awards 2025 launch party and an event celebrating the first-ever Dezeen newspaper (which launched last night – more to follow soon!).
Dezeen Events Guide has created an SDW guide, highlighting the key events at the festival this year.
As the 2025 event gets under way, take a look at ten unmissable exhibitions and installations – including Stockholm Furniture Fair 2025, a pop-up by Form Us With Love and an exhibition by David Taylor at Bukowskis auction house.
