To start with, the Ambassador of Sweden will exclusively open up her Residence at Portland Place for a Swedish design exhibition – HEMMA. 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 London Design Festival.

Another exhibition that will be on show during the Festival is ung8, taking place at Designersblock. Ung is the Swedish word for youth and also the name of a recurrent, juried exhibition with designers born in 1979 or later. Prototypes, concepts and innovative design solutions with the ability to shape the future and create a stir are selected for this exhibition, produced for the eighth time since the start in the late 1990’s.

Swedish Design Goes London runs from the 17th to the 25th of September. Click HEMMA or ung8 for location, dates and opening times.
