Southern Sweden Design Days 2021 is a new annual event that highlights and builds knowledge about design – focusing on sustainability, collaboration, development and innovation. For four days, a platform is created showcasing a full range of design disciplines through seminars, workshops, exhibitions and networking events. Southern Sweden Design Days is organized by Form/Design Center – the main venue for architecture, design and crafts in southern Sweden.

The theme for Southern Sweden Design Days 2021 is “1 + 1 = 3”. This year’s theme encourages collaborations and cross-fertilization with the aim of highlighting the region’s openness and locality. The theme can be seen as a symbol of synergy and sustainability – to solve existing and future challenges there is a need to collaborate, innovate and bring new equations to the table. The theme is open to interpretation and can be a meeting between materials or techniques that form a new whole, different expressions and styles combined in an innovative manner or it can encourage different industries or disciplines to merge. With more than 150 participants, Southern Sweden Design Days shows the width and the weight of the region’s design scene.
