FURNITURE FAIR. For those who do not want to replace their interior decor very often, it is a safe bet to invest in understated, simple furniture with fine details. Well-made creations in an austere style may seem boring, but it is the small details that make the difference, such as a table with tapered legs, upholstered chairs with decorative buttons, or monochrome armchairs in simple shapes.

— It is like well-tailored fashion, the trend of fine details, says trend analyst Stefan Nilsson.

The futuristic 1960s style that permeated both fashion and homes is something that is making its way back into Swedish everyday life, with shell chairs and armchairs.

Last year’s black-and-white trend continues, and black-and-white high-gloss furniture and interior details were frequently shown in the booths at this year’s furniture fair as well. An evolution of this trend is mixing in a third material in a different color. Dining tables in walnut and steel with matching chairs in black leather/steel were among the novelties.

Interactivity and intimacy

Many young designers are focusing on interactive creation where the buyer themselves can assemble a piece of furniture and color it according to their own wishes, something that is more exciting than buying a new sofa cover at IKEA.

The end product depends entirely on personal taste and preference. At this year’s furniture fair, several such creations were displayed, as well as seating furniture designed to bring people closer to each other and invite conversation and intimacy.

The futuristic 1960s fashion with plastic furniture and austere lines dominates this year’s furniture trends, together with quilted 1970s armchairs in orange and brown. It was an eclectic mix of retro-perspective and modern displayed at the Furniture Fair in Stockholm.

Technology is also finding its way into our homes more and more. Several kitchen suppliers showed electric lift fittings for kitchen cabinets. Cabinet doors open with a push button or remote control. This technology promotes clean, minimalist design solutions where knobs and handles are omitted. The technology can also be an aid for people with disabilities who have difficulty opening heavy cabinet doors.

Industrial trend

— The rustic is making strong headway, it should be rough-hewn and rusty, Stefan Nilsson believes.

To find the right style, you can think industrial, old cans and light bulbs, with black-painted walls and floors.

— Oiled oak is going out of style, and in its place comes untreated wood that is meant to age naturally.

He also believes that many people want 70s-inspired homes.

— Orange and brown with quilted fabrics on sofas and armchairs provide the right cozy feeling.

Against the current The furniture company Torkelssons received the Furniture Supplier of the Year award with the motivation that they deliver a marketable, high-quality range with few complaints.

— We do not jump on trends; for example, we haven’t been taken by the high-gloss trend. We simply want to make beautiful, durable, usable furniture that creates an attractive home, say owners Anders and Sofia Högberg.
