ABOUT US

At the Form/Design Center you will meet the best and the latest in Swedish and Scandinavian design. Every year we present some twenty exhibitions on architecture, design, industrial design and handicraft. We also have a permanent collection installation, "The beauty of everyday life", in which we showcase the best from the Swedish furniture, textile, lighting and art industries.

Our shop offers a wide variety of Scandinavian products with good design. And in our café, you can get a nice cup of coffee and a bite to eat, while browsing the latest design periodicals and magazines. Occasionally, we also arrange lectures and debates there.

Form/Design Center is operated by the regional branch of Svensk Form in Skåne. Svensk Form (the Swedish Society of Crafts and Design) is a non-profit organization promoting good design. Founded by Nils Månsson Mandelgren and initially named Svenska Slöjdföreningen (The Swedish Handicraft Society), it is the world's first and oldest design association.

Form/Design Center in Malmö set out in 1964 and is the oldest design centre in Sweden.

Form/Design Center is located in Hedmanska gården( Hedman courtyard) next to Lilla Torg in Malmö, a large granary built by the merchant Gabriel Hedman in 1850. Dating from the 16th century, the yard and the surrounding buildings are declared a historic site by the authorities.
