In a digitally castrated world unfolding through a social media platform, the tangible and tactile feeling is fading like a distant voice. Under such circumstances, events like the Stockholm Furniture Fair become more significant and essential where design enthusiasts experience the physical aspects, materiality, weight, texture, and color of the product hands-on. Such fairs go beyond the digital darkness and into the light of real-world interactions.
This year, the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2025 served as an oasis for Swedish designs exhibited at the fair. Since the furniture fair has ended, we have curated a list of the five most memorable exhibitions from the furniture fair, celebrating the Scandinavian ethos of design. We conclude the list with a special mention of Reclaimed by Misschiefs exhibited at Stockholm Design Week 2025.
