When we visited Stockholm Design Week 2024 (on until 11 February), designers from around the world were exploring what happens when the old is combined with the new.
South Korean design brand Wekino asked seven talented Korean designers to create objects that explored the juxtaposition between the country’s hyper-modern present and rich historical traditions. Formafantasma, the fair’s Guests of Honour, encouraged visitors to stop and think about how past environmental decisions will shape the future of design. Heritage Finnish brand IIttala debuted its revamped creative identity at a riotous opening event. Meanwhile, Svenskt Tenn celebrated its 100th anniversary with a reimagining of a classic pattern.
