Dezeen to launch Dezeen Dispatch at Stockholm Design Week

Dezeen will launch Dezeen Dispatch, a print publication featuring our pick of the best events, exhibitions and hotspots during next week's Stockholm Design Week.

Available to those visiting Sweden's capital city for the annual Stockholm Design Week (SDW), the 40-page, newspaper-style publication is the first of its kind to be published by Dezeen.

Dezeen Dispatch will provide readers with a succinct snapshot of the events, exhibitions, talks and hotspots worth visiting during the week (3-9 February).

Written by the Dezeen editorial team, features in the newspaper include an exploration into the recent shifts in Sweden's design scene. We also talk to designers across the country experimenting with alternative and inventive ways of making furniture and products.

"Dezeen's content usually lives within our digital ecosystem; creating this print product gives readers a new interaction with Dezeen's event-specific content during an acute moment in the year like Stockholm Design Week," said Dezeen editorial director Max Fraser.

"Produced in a handy 'grab-and-go' format, design-hungry readers will hopefully enjoy Dezeen's editorial perspective on the design week across these printed pages. The 'here today, gone tomorrow' nature of a newspaper lends itself perfectly to the short period of the event."

Co-CEO Wai Shin Li added: "we like to do things a bit differently at Dezeen and so launching a print newspaper in an increasingly digital world is exactly the kind of move we love! Dezeen Dispatch gives us a physical presence at a major design event and the opportunity to connect even more deeply with the architecture and design community and our wider audience."

For those attending Stockholm Design Week, pick up a free copy of the newspaper at Stockholm Furniture Fair and at select venues that are part of the SDW event programme. A digital version will be available to read on Monday 3 February.

The newspaper includes an interview with this year's Stockholm Furniture Fair guest of honour, British designer Faye Toogood, about the importance of storytelling and the need to reinvent how we manufacture products.

Norwegian entrepreneur Celine Sandberg tells us about the much-needed natural foam that her company Agoprene is developing from seaweed, helping to break the furniture industry's reliance on fossil fuel-derived polyurethane foam.

For those navigating SDW, Dezeen Dispatch includes our roundup of 20 must-see exhibitions, installations and events across Stockholm. These include a pop-up bistro by Form Us With Love, a private gallery in a curator's home and furniture made from 300-year-old trees. Their locations are plotted onto the centre-spread city map.

We also spotlight some of the highlights at SFF, featuring six emerging designers to keep an eye out for as well as information about the design disruptors talk series that Dezeen is staging as part of the fair's talks programme.

For those who may have some spare time in the city, we have spoken to various local Stockholm designers. We include their recommendations of favourite restaurants, bars and cafes, as well as cultural spots to visit and some of the best-kept secrets to enjoy during the design week.

Stockholm Design Week 2025 takes place from 3-9 February in locations across the Swedish capital. See Dezeen Events Guide for more architecture and design events around the world.
