Working with the method of scenography, Lina Nordqvist’s work tends to focus on visualizing stories and portraying moods. The collection presented as part of Twelve specifically focused on furniture and objects from a theatrical perspective. “Architecture and the art of building is a big inspiration,” she said, “as well as the dramatic value of a visual experience.”

Glimpt used journeys as a method for design, showing a selection of work developed over the past five years and inspired by travels to Vietnam, South Africa, Peru, and Romania. “The human is an explorer,” designers Tor Palm and Mattias Rask said, “and that is what we see ourselves as, designers on an adventure exploring the world through design and crafts.”

Mia Cullin focused on structures and modularity in design, showing a selection of smaller objects including cushions and a bag, alongside larger works such as a bench with a woven leather strapping seat and a wool felt rug formed from individual star-shaped pieces. “When developing a product I have a hands-on working process,” said Mia. “I prefer to work with physical models to have control of the process.”

The method that Alexander Lervik chose was 3D printing, showing the wooden armchair Nordic alongside its 3D printed prototype and a collection of 3D printed jewelery. “In 2009 I did a TEDx lecture about 3D printing in the year 2025,” he said. “Most of the things I thought would happen by then have already occurred.

And finally, Folkform created the exhibition itself, using material as their method. Founders Anna Holmquist and Chandra Ahlsell drew on their studio’s fascination with materials to create a series of arches made from aerated concrete. “Each new material we work with takes some time to get to know, to get to know the feeling of it or how it acts,” they said.

Curator Agerman Ross said, “In recent years, the documentation of research and the practical method of making has become just as prominent a part of the project as the finished design itself,” which is exactly what made this exhibition relevant, interesting, and timely.
