DESIGNERS:
FREDRIK PAULSEN (b. 1980), educated at Beckmans School of Design and the Royal College of Art in London. Today he works in his own studio in Örnsberg. His work ranges from furniture to interior- and exhibition design. Fredrik's work mixes notions of anti-consumption, artificiality and counterculture that celebrate material, colour and form. With a playful approach to ordinary everyday objects, he experiments with new creative processes. Fredrik was named both Inspirer of the Year and Designer of the Year 2020 in Sweden.
ALEXANDER LERVIK (b. 1972), has worked as a product designer for over 20 years and runs his own studio on Södermalm. Alexander has a degree from Beckmans School of Design and collaborates with some of the most prominent Swedish and international producers such as Absolut Art, Aritco, Designhouse Stockholm, Ateljé Lyktan, Zero, Adea and others.

FOLKFORM - was founded in 2005 and consists of designers Anna Holmquist and Chandra Ahlsell. In their work, by using different materials, they want to illuminate and challenge our preconceived notions about what is considered valuable. In June 2019, they were awarded the Bruno Mathsson Prize, the largest design prize in the Nordic region.
JENNY NORDBERG (b. 1978) is an industrial designer (MFA) and based in Skåne. Nordberg works investigative and interdisciplinary to expand the contemporary view of design and the role of the designer. Regardless of whether it is an experimental, conceptual or commercial project, she is driven by a search for alternatives and counter-strategies to irresponsible mass production. Stylistically, her work is characterized by an astute combination of brutalism and minimalism, often with humour and chance as important elements. Jenny Nordberg's work, which moves in the field between design and art, focuses on how we produce and consume today, how we have done it historically and how this can be done differently in the future. By exploring issues such as these, Nordberg wants to change the conditions for the design field and encourage designers to take a more committed position.
STEFAN ANDERSSON lives and works in Siljansnäs in Dalarna. He is one of Sweden's few Masters in pottery and the focus is on small series of unique utensils that combine arts and crafts.

AIA JÜDES (b. 1979) works as an artist and curator interdisciplinary in the borderland between art, handicraft and design. Her creative universe is based on playful cross-fertilizations between traditional craftsmanship and contemporary expressions taken from fashion, street and subcultures.

Åsa's art spans a broad spectrum that touches on issues around aesthetic hierarchies, fashion, shopping, decadence and the construction of gender roles.
STUDIO DEJAWU was established in Stockholm in 2015. The name is taken from the feeling of unfamiliarity (Déjà vu), a philosophy that drives and controls the design process.
