The products developed during Summer eXpression go on sale today, Thursday 27 October, at Designtorget in Stockholm.
- It feels great that we get to showcase designs created by students in Umeå and produced by local producers to a national press, says Barbro Renkel, business coach at eXpression Umeå and responsible for the Summer eXpress programme.
The media has shown great interest in the design products from Umeå and Thursday at Designtorget at Götgatan 30 in Stockholm will begin with a press conference where all the designers will present their products. In addition to six designers from eXpression Umeå, other participants include Designtorget's CEO, Alexandra Wahlqvist and eXpression Umeå's CEO, Marlene Johansson.
- I think that the great media interest shows that eXpression and Umeå are where we want to be and should be, i.e. at the absolute forefront of creative and cultural industries, says Marlene Johansson, CEO of eXpression Umeå.
At the press conference, the media will have the opportunity to interview the design students, followed by a short vernissage before the products go on sale in the Designtorget shop and website.
