17 Swedish Designers

From left to right:

• “Slanting Cones,” by Anna Lerinder.
• The "Spoon" chair by Monica Forster, left, with the "Perfo" chair by Anki Gneib.

The Swedes have long been known for their impeccable sense of design, but these young women bring an innovative, sensual twist to the field. From textiles to glassware, to furniture and architecture, these 17 women have made a name for themselves through their contemporary fearless designs and socially inspired solutions for everyday good design. This is a not-to-be-missed exhibit!

Opening night: Friday, Jan 29, 2010 – 6pm reception, 7pm presentation
