After visiting design fairs I’m always back with many news to share. However, this time back from Stockholm Design Week I really don’t know from where to start!
Stockholm Furniture fair is the largest furniture fair of Scandinavia, so it’s really a good source for inspiration and for news. In addition to this, Scandinavian design is still the reference point for interiors and design lovers, as well as the starting point for all trends on interior and design.
Indeed, my feeling is that Scandinavian design is still far from being outdated. Even if I must admit I’m partial on this, as you already know, I’ve been loving Scandinavian design since ages.
This post features some interesting design news from the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2018, with some new products by outstanding Scandinavian design brands and something outside Scandinavia as well.
Stay tuned as many other posts on what I’ve spotted in Stockholm will come soon!

Reykjavik Daybed is inspired by Iceland architecture. Its beautiful clean design imitates the reflections of the characteristic wooden constructions and the corrugated steel roofs of city.
