History

“The timing could not have been better. When Form opened on Stadiongatan in Malmö in 1964 there was a great longing for a permanent address for contemporary modern design. A forum where the public could meet with designers and manufacturers to discuss issues of form, function and quality", the design journalist Hedvig Hedqvist described the start of Form/Design Center.
