Node for a designed living environment

In a press conference on 9 September 2020, Minister of Culture Amanda Lind and Deputy Minister of Finance Per Bolund announced that Form/Design Center will be awarded SEK 3 million annually from 2021. The temporary government grant to the organization, which has run for more than three years, will now be permanent.

– The fact that the grant will now be permanent gives Form/Design Center even better conditions and greater opportunities to continue its work as a meeting place and node for architecture, design and crafts in southern Sweden, says Minister of Culture Amanda Lind.

BROCHURE

We have produced a brochure to provide an overall picture of the organization and how we work long-term to implement the policy for designed living environment.
