Summer eXpression is finally back - the most creative development programme of the summer for those who want to take an idea to a finished product. Four weeks filled with creation, coaching and community await.

And new for this year: we're doing it in proud co-operation with Svensk Form and the Kamprad Family Foundation.

This year, participants will create products on the theme of rest - a topic that feels both timely and long-awaited in a fast-paced world.

The mission is to create products that promote recovery, breaks and tranquillity - but with a material that both challenges and inspires: residual streams from the forestry and wood industries. Here is a chance to rethink both form and function.

We will put an extra focus on circularity and on developing sustainable supply chains. Summer eXpression is a perfect place to explore the future of design, production and business," says Fanny Lindén, business coach at eXpression.

Summer eXpression runs from 2-27 June and is aimed at those who study or work in art, design, architecture, textiles, crafts or other creative fields.

During four weeks, participants will have access to workshops, coaching, inspirational activities and a creative context.

"We are particularly pleased to be running Summer eXpression this year together with Svensk Form and the Kamprad Family Foundation. We share a passion for innovative design and supporting young creators. We are now looking forward to a summer full of innovative products," says Frida Wimelius, business coach and project manager at eXpression Umeå.

Applications are open until 20 April.
