Guest of honour
The Guest of Honour 2023 is the design studio Front, making it the first time the distinction goes to a Swedish design studio. Front works in an art and research driven way and moves freely between the industry and the gallery world.

In February their Guest of Honour exhibition will set the tone for the 71st edition of Stockholm Furniture Fair.

Amongst the exhibitors 2023 is Tableu from Denmark, Pyton Gallery and Kiosken from Norway and Stockholm Modern and Coulisse Gallery from Sweden. The curated exhibition New Narratives showcases new and unique work from a number of Swedish designers and artists.
Greenhouse
Greenhouse is a platform for young design talent. This year 32 designers and 30 design schools from 18 countries will exhibit in the area. The Greenhouse Bar by Nola, designed by urban furniture brand Nola in collaboration with designers Anki Gneib and Mia Cullin, forms a central meeting point for new ideas and conversations. Greenhouse Bar by Nola offers refreshments and high-end street food, as well as a stage area for panel debates and talks.

Stockholm Design Week
Stockholm Design Week is organised by Stockholm Furniture Fair and in February 2023 about 100 furniture brands, design studios and museums open their doors to a global audience in the city. The design week is open for professionals and design enthusiasts alike and the free Stockholm Design Week interactive app provides a listing with daily activities and events to join. In 2023, Stockholm Design Week is held twice, on February 6–12 and September 5–9.
The bar Underbar
The designer and interior architect Jonas Bohlin – behind many of Sweden’s most iconic restaurants and bars the last three decades – have designed the bar Underbar in Hall B together with Christine Ingridsdotter. The bar is made from carefully selected materials which will be reused after the fair, and the furniture and new lighting showcased and used in the bar will continue to other restaurants after the fair has ended.
Now or never
What impact does our furniture have on the climate? The guest exhibition Now or never – 1 kg CO2e shows how different materials affect our climate impact, and what difference our choices make. The exhibition is organised by Emma Olbers, designer and sustainability strategist, together with the design and innovation agency EY Doberman. Doconomy, Polestar, Nrep and Ludvig Svensson are also participating.
Closing the Loop
The exhibition Closing the Loop by Solaris community – a circular-chain platform initiated by the United Nations ESCAP in 2019 – put a spotlight on the 11 million tons of plastic that end up in our oceans every year. With upcycling as a key circular economy driving force, the exhibition showcases art, furniture, lighting and fashion created by designers and brands such as Karim Rashid, Pierre Balmain, Swarovski and Julia Koerner. Closing the Loop is made by Solaris Community in collaboration with Materialbiblioteket.
The Gallery Edition
The Gallery Edition is a new exhibition space at Stockholm Furniture Fair with styling by Sophia Bratt, highlighting selected news from furniture- and lighting brands exhibiting at Stockholm Design Week in the city. With the aim to strengthen the synergies between the fair and Stockholm Design Week, it offers brands an opportunity to be present at both places and gives fair visitors a short cut to some of the news launching in the city. The material partners for construction and flooring in The Gallery are Recoma and Tarkett.
The Nude Edition
The Nude Edition is a new exhibition area with stands made of recycled material. The stands are small, measuring only 15 square meters, and the material will return to be recycled after use. The area is a step towards a more sustainable way of exhibiting and exhibitors in Nude Edition 2023 include Reform Design LAB and Johanson. The material partners for the stands are Recoma and Tarkett.
