Calling All Design Enthusiasts: The Stockholm Furniture Fair Starts Today!

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.
