Scandinavian Shift: 9 highlights from Stockholm Design Week 2025

2. Mille Notti Above The off-white delicate Carla, red and brown playful Franca and classic wood Luca bedside tables, the first furniture collection from Mille Notti by Eva Schildt Previously known for its designer textiles, Swedish brand Mille Notti made its first foray into furniture with designer Eva Schildt's Luca, Carla, and Franca—three bedside tables with distinct characteristics. 'A dresser should complement, not replicate, the bed's design. It must have its own identity while enhancing the space,' Schildt notes. The result is a trio of pieces that serves both functional and decorative roles, offering storage while adding an elegant presence to the bedroom. 3. Kord Above New Swedish brand Kord's compact and stylish Cuboid and Cuboid+ claim to be the world's smallest power strips, with three to four outlets and a two-meter cable Blending utility with aesthetics, the new tech/ design brand Kord, founded by David Lindell and Gustav Rosén, reimagines electrical sockets as objects that can make a visual impact. Their debut products, Cuboid and Cuboid+, are the world's smallest multi-sockets, featuring three or four inputs and a two-metre cable. Crafted partially from recycled plastic, these innovative pieces balance practicality and design with a refined sense of proportion—a perfect complement to any modern interior.

Studio Ololoo Above The endearing Bubble lamp by Chinese design duo Zhen Bian and Jaco Qian of Studio Ololoo garnered appreciation during Stockholm Design Week thanks to its space-saving feature Studio Ololoo's latest table lamp, Bubble, is an innovative fusion of flexibility and gravity-defying design. Inflatable and jointed, it features a mobile structure that directs focus towards the bulb itself. 'This project explores tension and deformation, integrating them into the functionality of the piece,' explain studio founders Zhen Bian and Jaco Qian, based in Ningbo. A clever touch—when deflated, the lamp folds effortlessly for transportation or storage, showcasing an innovative take on space-saving design. 5. &Tradition Above Luca Nichetto's stylish Gio lamp for &Tradition is a tribute to the late legendary Italian designer Gio Ponti Danish brand &Tradition unveiled a series of new pieces at the Gulled showroom during Stockholm Design Week 2025, including the Gio lamp—a tribute to Gio Ponti and Venetian craftsmanship, designed by Luca Nichetto. 'The Gio lamp captures the essence of a chandelier's skeleton, focusing on fundamental geometric forms,' Nichetto explains. While conceptualising the design, he rediscovered his profound connection with Murano glassmaking. The minimalist yet sculptural lamp is available in a striking palette that includes deep green, rich blue and ecru white, alongside a bolder alternative combination of vermilion, dark burgundy and ecru white. 6. Slalom Above Swedish interior designer Tekla Severin photographed at Slalom's striking booth at the Stockholm Furniture Fair, which she conceptualised using acoustic panels from the brand such as Arlecchino, which she also designed/ (Photo: Maria Teresa Furnari) Of the many installations at Stockholm Furniture Fair during Stockholm Design Week 2025, the most visually striking surely belonged to acoustic panel brand Slalom. Conceptualised by visionary Swedish colourist and interior designer Tekla Severin, the booth took on the concept of 'a box in a box' and featured the latest Slalom product innovations for the contract and hospitality sectors, including Severin's Arlecchino PET felt panels, which come in various sprightly colours to inject character into spaces. 7. NJRD Above The Vior seating collection from NJRD embodies the classic colour palette of Scandinavian furniture, with a playful twist in the form of its woven seats The Vior collection by design duo Bernadotte & Kylberg for NJRD encapsulates the beauty of everyday life through meticulously crafted pieces of furniture. Named after the Norse word for 'wood', the collection comprises a kitchen sofa, a dining table and chairs, all shaped with inviting, organic forms. Rooted in functional simplicity and a deep connection to Scandinavian nature, it embodies a commitment to timeless design. 8. Fogia Above Andreas Engesvik's Pico chair for Fogia appears like a pair of pillows set on a thin tubular steel structure At first glance, the classic silhouette of Fogia's latest lounge chair, Pico, designed by Andreas Engesvik, appears deceptively traditional. Yet, with its lightweight frame crafted from thin tubular steel and plush seat and backrest, it redefines expectations of formality. Designed for comfort without constraint, its leather or fabric cushions envelop the user wonderfully. 9. Center Center Above String's new Center Center storage system can be combined in many different ways Fixed storage is obsolete. Enter Center Center, the latest modular system from String Furniture, devised by Form Us With Love to liberate interiors from static constraints. Designed with adaptability at its core, this ingenious framework is less about storage and more about spatial choreography—offering architects and designers the freedom to configure, reconfigure, and reimagine. At its heart lies a precision-engineered hole pattern, seamlessly repeating across every module. This intelligent system allows elements to stack, extend, and pivot between open and concealed configurations, creating intuitive divisions, discreet alcoves, or expansive displays.
