Digital vernissage
Summer eXpression 2023
For seven weeks, some young designers have been working on taking their idea to a finished prototype. Take a tour of the digital showroom and discover the products.
Abrovinsch
A functional piece of jewellery that allows one's valuables to stay safely on the inside of a tote bag or purse. It attaches easily without making holes in the fabric. A new structure is formed on the outside, creating an exciting and stylistic meeting of fabric and stainless steel, enhancing the look and use of today's tote bags. Never lose your valuables again, Abrovinsch keeps track for you.
DESIGNER: Vera Bensch
Alumogue
A stool with attitude, inspired by the softness of the home in form and the clinical hardness of industrial aluminium.
DESIGNER: Anna Levander
WATCH
When the leaves get burnt at the edges and the southern sun shines too brightly. Against nosy neighbours, echoing living rooms or noisy offices. Blickfång will contribute to a softer everyday life strewn through frizzy curls in the form of an adjustable privacy screen. Fits all windows and can easily be taken with you when you move.
DESIGNER: Emmilie Haglund
Blue elephant
This is a comfortable chair for the whole home. It is assembled and disassembled as easily as it is transported and stored. Blue Elephant is produced in a simple step but with an imaginative expression of its own where wood hugs wood.
DESIGNER: Axel Gillblad
Bookmark
A wall-mounted display for coffeebooks or other beloved books. As an addition to the blackboard wall or in connection with the reading armchair. With the help of spring steel, the arches meet the book exactly where it needs support. A new way to highlight your well-chosen books.
DESIGNER: Nelly Axelsson
Duo flex bag
Duo Flex Bag is an expression of smart, simple and functional design. It represents a new way of sorting waste and is intended to be a natural part of the user's everyday life - it should be easy and convenient to contribute to a positive environmental impact.
DESIGNER: Thea Lundahl
Fōrma
An organic frame made of steel with magnetic attachment. Replace your posters and change the look of your home in seconds. Forma adds a new dimension to your gallery wall and can also be hung from the ceiling to act as a mobile display for your most beautiful artwork.
DESIGNER: Cornelia Kalle
Coy
Koj is a cord hiding and charging station in one that hides boring power sockets. It combines playful design with everyday function. An innovative cable hiding place that raises the function up from the floor and makes quick access to your devices on charge available.
DESIGNER: Lova Bodin
Ant hill
An ant trap is a piece of moorland in tufted wool. A soft blanket to hang up, lay over or wrap around. It is colourful with a pattern interpreted from a map and carries the history of the land in its expression. The functions are similar to a sheepskin rug where the wool warms and cushions regardless of where in the room it is placed.
DESIGNER: Linda Lindkvist
pulse
A tablecloth that alludes to the interspace shape of an envelope when setting the table. In addition, it is made of a heat-resistant material and can therefore serve as a trivet over the entire table surface.
DESIGNER: Lina Degerth
What is Summer expression?
For one summer, you as a young creator will have the chance to take your design from an idea to a finished prototype in a first step. Then some of the prototypes will be selected for further development into finished products.
This programme is for students and young designers who are curious to get to know the design process in practice. A work sample is required for application.
Admission is based on the design task: sketch/drawing in any technique. Take a book, a 33 cl can, an empty glass and your favourite pen. Arrange the jar, glass and pen on top of the book and draw/sketch. The assignment must not be signed as they will be anonymised before assessment. Attached as a pdf to the application form, maximum size A4.
