As a leading international design fair in Asia, Design Shanghai is returning to the stunning Shanghai Exhibition Centre on 14-17 March 2018. As part of it, the Swedish Consulate General, in cooperation with Wowdsgn, will present Swedish home design at a lifestyle exhibition “The Nordic Home: Special Showcase of Sweden”.
This is the third time for the Consulate to take part in Design Shanghai. With a theme on Nordic home design, the exhibition will show products from such Swedish brands as HEM, Aveva, Eva Schildt and Blankture, a few Finnish and Danish brands, and Wowdsgn’s own “neo-Nordic” brand Wow Lab. Blankture's designer Jenny Schild is coming especially to Shanghai for this event.
The Swedish brands
HEM is a Stockholm-based brand that designs a new generation of sustainable furniture, accessories and lighting. Together with vanguard designers and renowned European manufacturers, it creates iconic products for homes and workplaces all around the world. HEM also makes high-end design at accessible prices, without compromising on quality or the environment.
AVEVA consciously focuses on materials to ensure sustainability for the environment. Returning to the trend of hand-woven wool, Eva, the designer and founder of the company, seeks to create new products and furniture by combining the contrast of wood and wool. AVEVA likes to challenge traditional and natural materials and to explore their possibilities by combining the hard and soft materials in interior design.
EVA SCHILDT started her own business right after her graduation in furniture and product design at Beckmans Design School in 2001. Since then she has worked on furniture and textile packaging, interior design and exhibition design.
BLANKTURE is a Stockholm based interior design brand. It focuses on creating pieces that explore the unused spaces of an individual’s home by involving the person in the final touch of the creative process. Jenny Schild is the founder of Blankture, who designs pieces attached to pendant light cords to create a new expression.
