Togetherness + Creativity = Connecting-the-dots,

‘Långed Furniture’, Southern Sweden Design Days 2022, Malmö.

Designed and built by us founding members of the ‘Långed Furniture’ collective: Josephine Aspenrot, Marc Hoogendijk, Maike Brandl and Leo Palmer (all alumni from HDK-Valand Steneby, University of Gothenburg).

A collective exhibition of graduates from HDK-Valand Campus Steneby, Furniture Design Studies that forged close relationships during their education, and wish to showcase their works together as a strong unit. 

During the pandemic, discussions and sharing of ideas became crucial to our group wellbeing. All the projects exhibited have been designed and built in our shared workshop in the Steneby campus in the Dalsland forest. Within this creative bubble among the trees, we have all had the opportunity to tackle the multiple aspects of creating and designing with wood. One of the greatest experiences has been to see how each individual approaches this versatile material in their own unique way. Be it through exploration of form, colour, texture or more holistically; looking at the furniture industry and its role in the contemporary discourse.
