About Ung Svensk Form:
Ung Svensk Form is a juried award and travelling exhibition whose purpose is to broaden and deepen our knowledge and awareness about young and innovative Swedish design. Ung Svensk Form highlights our desire to create and explore freely, without the need for market adaptation. Ung Svensk Form fulfils a vital function as a forum for designers, producers and the public to meet. Ung Svensk Form 2021 is a co-production between Föreningen Svensk Form and IKEA Museum, in partnership with Kulturhuset Stadsteatern and the City of Malmö. Ung Svensk Form was initiated in Malmö at Form/Design Center in 1998.

Svensk Form är en ideell oberoende medlemsförening för privatpersoner, företag och yrkesverksamma inom form, design och arkitektur. Föreningen grundades 1845 som Svenska Slöjdföreningen och har sedan dess främjat design i Sverige och utomlands. Svensk Form ger ut tidningen Form sedan 1905.
