Greenhouse is Stockholm Furniture Fair's arena for independent designers and design schools. A lot of prominent design groups, such as Nendo, TAF Arkitektkontor, GAMplusFratesi, Save our Souls, Front, Jens Fager and Folkform, began their careers at Greenhouse. Independent designers and students exhibit their prototypes and can establish contact with manufacturers, the media and industry insiders.
Exhibitors are chosen by a renowned jury panel. Potential exhibitors submit their applications, together with photographs and sketches of prototypes, to Greenhouse. The jury panel then chooses the final exhibitors, normally about 20 schools and 35 designers/design groups.
Criteria: The jury is looking for design and concept innovations. Prototypes must not be linked to a manufacturer and must not have been exhibited at another major event (except graduation shows). There is no age limit.
Each year, approximately 40,000 visitors from the furniture and lighting industry and around 1,000 journalists from all over the world attend the Nordic region's leading design event, Stockholm Furniture Fair and Northern Light Fair.
Jens Fager is responsible for designing the layout of the hall. The UNG exhibition will also premiere at Greenhouse 2011.
The closing date for school applications is 30 June 2010
The closing date for applications by independent designers is 22 September 2010
