Emerging Tendencies in Scandinavian Design

This exhibition was designed and curated by Petra Lilja, commissioned by the Embassies of Sweden and Finland in Bucharest and displayed during the Romanian Design Week, an annual event in Bucharest that promotes design and architecture. The idea behind the exhibition design was a smorgasbord of objects representing emerging tendencies in Scandinavian design. The large table was designed as an easy-to-assemble flat pack podium where upon the objects where elevated and placed on reflective mirror glass. Skilled carpenters manufactured the design in Bucharest. The idea behind a free-standing podium was to optimize long distance collaboration where important information like exact location and facilities could be subject for change and the designer not being able to visit the venue prior to the opening.
