Formex Design Talents

Are you the design star of tomorrow?

Are you a fledgling designer eager to showcase your products to buyers, producers and the media? Apply to Design Talents!

Design Talents is one of Formex’s most exciting features where talented and unestablished designers from Sweden and internationally can apply for a place to showcase their innovative design solutions and products at the fair. Those selected as Design Talents are the big names of the future and are chosen by a jury to reflect the breadth of products at Formex.

The application for the next Design Talents in January 2025 will open during the fall. Follow us on our social channels and newsletters for the latest news.

Meet Daniel from the company MADE IN GBG who previously exhibited in Design Talents.

Best in Show in August 2024

Known for her vibrant patterns and innovative textile designs, Albamatilde has made a strong impression on this year’s jury with her tufted artworks.
Her artwork features floral patterns inspired by her grandmother’s paintings from the 1960s.

Application Process

Stand info & price

If you are selected for Design Talents, you will have the opportunity to accept a stand at the fair. The stand will be ready upon your arrival at the fair, equipped with carpeting, an electrical outlet, truss lighting, a painted wall, and your marketing name in vinyl text on the wall. After this basic setup, you can decorate your stand as you wish. The stand area is 6 square meters, 3×2 meters.

Registration fee is 2 195 SEK excl. VAT and stand rent is 5 795 SEK excl. VAT. You will only be charged if you are withdrawn.

Selection

When selecting for Design Talents, we look at the products based on novelty value in terms of idea and form and to get a good mix of product types at the fair. The section is built in an architecturally exciting way that differs from the other stands in the hall.
If you have been admitted to Design Talents, you are welcome to participate in up to three fairs.

Best in Show Award

Each fair, our jury selects a winner of the Best in Show – a design award for the designer who stands out from the crowd. The winner is presented to the press on the Formex stage, and the prize includes a stand space worth SEK 15,000 for the next fair and editorial content on formex.se and in social media.
