Härligt att ta båten ut till Nacka Strand i försommarvärmen för en heldagsworkshop. (Jag tog visserligen svettiga bussen ut, men åtminstone båten tillbaka). 6 personer mixat Svensk Form och Centrum för Näringslivshistoria, tillsammans en hel dag kring ett enda projekt. Vilken lyx! Fruktbart och angeläget nu inför starten av vår nya webb i december, som ska ge en bred och öppen genomlysning av samtida svensk design; designer, företag, produkter, tjänster, koncept... Får anledning att snart komma tillbaka till detta.
What we really feel is still missing, is a good overview in English over contemporary Swedish Design. That is why we are now about to create a new open source web site featuring current Swedish designers, companies and products. It is a collaboration between Svensk Form and Centrum för Näringslivshistoria, and thus will not only a tool for the present users and readers, but also available for future references and research. The first page is planned for launch in December this year. Richard Prime, already an initiated blogger / writer within the design, fashion and trend field. His passion for contemporary Swedish design will come in handy for this project and we are very happy to work with Richard. Who, by the way, is one of the few English natives who has learnt to speak Swedish in only two years here, despite all of us automatically addressing him in English with him.
