Ex-Works 2025 - Meet The Industry Event

Fresh talent meets the furniture industry

‍

In late August, the Museum of Furniture Studies hosted a matchmaking event between the young designers featured in the Ex-Works 2025 exhibition and representatives from the Swedish furniture industry.

The event took place in our temporary pop-up space in Älmhult. It was an inspiring afternoon where students presented their projects to the invited professionals.

As museum manager Eva Lilja Löwenhielm says, the exhibition provided a perfect backdrop for a meaningful discussion about the future of design:
‍

”The 2025 exhibition brought together a wide variety of expressions, techniques, and material choices. There were innovative solutions to old problems and poetic interpretations of contemporary and conceptual questions that push the boundaries of what a piece of furniture can be. Together, they formed a snapshot of a new generation of designers who are conscious, courageous, and questioning.”
