Such an interesting and informative tour. Visiting examples of great design and learning about the history of this unique aspect of Swedish culture

I adore the guide for this experience who led a food tour on my September 2024 visit to Stockholm. He has an in-depth knowledge of Swedish design and is an absolute pleasure of a person. I left Stockholm with many ideas for updating my home interiors!

Total loss. I arrive early to the specified meeting spot. 40 minutes prior to the start of the tour, I received a call, telling me to meet at a different location about a mile away. I walked to the art new location, an art museum and met the guide. I was the only member of the tour. He told me that the museum really didn’t have very much of interest regarding Swedish design. He then walked us back to what was the original meeting location. On the way, we encountered his mother. She joined us. The guy told me that he had some notes prepared but if I just wanted to go shopping, I could do that. We walked into a museum/store to review some examples of an early design group. The guide repeated that we could just go shopping. I decided to leave. I think I paid over $100, to waste my time. I’m not sure what the intention was, but the end result was definitely not anything like a tour.
In Sweden, design is synonymous with ‘lifestyle’ and there are certain characteristics that set Swedish design apart. One is environmentally friendly production, which has a long tradition in Sweden. Transparency is another (for products as well as production) and we constantly pride ourselves in being open about how we go about producing world-class products. This tour gives you an insight into all of that!
