Stockholm Fair

The Stockholm Furniture Fair is the largest fair event in the Nordic countries. This doesn't really come as a surprise, as from the minute you step out of the plane, design surrounds you. The city itself is a showpiece for good, solid product design, so it makes sense that it should have a trade show that reflects this.

This year the Stockholm furniture fair celebrated its 60th year, making it Sweden's oldest fair. But, luckily, with age it seems to have only grown in confidence rather than diminished in its ways.

Although there remained a distinct lack of international exhibitors, as most were keeping their new products under wraps for Milan, this did not seem to stop Nordic companies. Large 2011 collections by companies such as Materia, Skandiform, Nordic Care, Abstracta and Nola had plenty of new and exciting products to keep us entertained. And while the same big-name designers did tend to pop up again and again, it was also nice to see some of the younger designers sharing the spotlight.

Materia

For Materia, it is about so much more than beautiful furniture. It is not enough either that the furniture is also comfortable. Materia bases their ideas on research and creates meeting places that offer energy and creativity. This is the secret.

We are eager to reveal Materia's 2011 product range as they have continued to show creativity, innovation and practicality in all their designs.
