Stockholm Furniture and Light Fair 2012

Stockholm Furniture Fair is a trade fair, which takes place at Stockholm International Fairs in Älvsjö. The fair is the world’s biggest meeting place for Nordic design. Here you will find the most comprehensive range of furniture, offices, design, textiles and other interior design for both the home and the public environment. The fair is now considered to be one of the most interesting design fairs in the world.

Stockholm Furniture Fair is organised in partnership with Möbelimportörernas Branschorganisation (the trade association for furniture importers), Sveriges Möbelhandlare (Swedish Federation of Furniture Retailers) and Trä- och Möbelindustriförbundet (Swedish Federation of Wood and Furniture Industry). Northern Light Fair takes place alongside the Furniture Fair.

Stockholm Furniture Fair is an annual fair, which takes place from Tuesday to Saturday, week 6.

Today approximately 650 exhibitors (750 in total together with Northern Light Fair) display their products and get the chance to meet roughly 40,000 visitors, just over 1,050 of whom are journalists or photographers (about 25% come from countries outside Sweden). Some 80% of the visitors come from Sweden and 20% from other parts of the world. The international visitors represent about 50 different countries.

Focused marketing initiatives have meant that the fair has sparked increasing international interest among the media, as well as among exhibitors, visitors, schools of design and designers.

On the last day of the fair, members of the public with an interest in design are invited to come and view next season’s products/new features.
