Architonic on the ground in the Swedish capital to bring you the best from the designer's design fair.
February means Stockholm.
Last year's edition of the always highly polished and well-organised Scandinavian furniture and lighting fair, SFF, saw in excess of 35,000 visitors pass through its doors. This year's equally well-attended event presented across its various halls over 500 confident exhibitors – ranging from the best Scandi brands, through leading manufacturers internationally, to a raft of eager young designers, all keen to engage with their fair-going public and all sharing a deep-seated passion for good design.
The relatively compact size of the Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair means that chance (and scheduled, of course) encounters with other visitors are common, allowing for meaningful creative and business conversations to develop over the course of the fair. The young design talent on show, meanwhile, had a less experimental, more production-oriented feel to it this time round.
Didn't manage to make it to Swedish capital last week? Fear not. Architonic brings you the best from the fair in the form of our detailed photo tours. Varsågod!
