Since 1998, Young Swedish Design has been the most important forum for young designers. Participants are selected by a jury, and the exhibition highlights 25 works chosen from hundreds of entries – from furniture, fashion, arts and crafts, to architecture, industrial design and graphic design. IKEA Museum is proud to produce this year’s exhibition, which is touring to five Swedish cities.

“Young Swedish Design is a recognition and an amazing opportunity for me to reach out. I could never have imagined as a child that I’d win an IKEA Scholarship! IKEA has been a favourite of mine since I was young, and it inspired me to be a furniture designer.”
– Matilda Hunyadi, winner of the IKEA Scholarship, Young Swedish Design 2022
