From February 4 to February 7, the
Stockholm International Fair will host the
Stockholm Furniture Fair, featuring exhibitions of modern design as well as a number of guest speakers and seminars. The show will feature seventeen designers, from well-established names to young talents, from traditional modes of construction to state-of-the-art technologies. You can't miss
'Riot,' a lamp designed by
Janne Kyttanen as part of the
FOC (Freedom Of Creation) collection which uses Megaman energy saving recyclable bulbs. Other highlights include
Angela Staps' floating lamp shade Los 1, in which the lamp shade levitates above the bulb, and
Marieke Staps€™ Soil Lamp, in which an LED light is powered by the metabolism of biological life in the mud. Special guest speakers include
Ineke Hans, whose famous creations incorporate the training of a designer with the aesthetics of a sculptor, and trend analyst
Li Edelkoort, known both for her research and her role as a consultant to companies such as
Coca-Cola and
Estee Lauder. Can€™t make it out to Stockholm for the fair? Look through the slideshow to see some of the most compelling and inspiring creations in Stockholm, and the future of design.
