MDM Talks #9: An interview with Emma Wikner


In this episode, we talk with the designer Emma Wikner. In 2022 Emma graduated from Konstfack, University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm. For her graduation project, Vita Sannar,  she designed a Cabinet made from CNC-milled MDF boards. The uniquely designed piece was inspired by the swirly patterns in the sand created by waves.

This interview is part of a series of talks called Ex-Works Reconnect. In this series, we interview design graduates from different Swedish Design Colleges. We talk about the Swedish education system, collaborations, and what it´s like to work as a new designer in the furniture industry. All interviewed designers have been featured in Möbeldesignmuseum´s exhibitions Ex-Works 2020 or Ex-Works 2022.
