Running from 21-24 September, Swedish Design Moves will showcase works by 11 designers from the southern county of Skåne.

Launching during this year's London Design Festival, the four-year programme is commissioned by the Swedish government and aims to position the Nordic country as a leading design destination.

he exhibition will take place at the Swedish Design Pavilion as part of London Design Fair, which is held in east London's Old Truman Brewery.

The exhibition will also include three films about the designers, featuring interviews with Malmö-based studio Stoft and industrial design studio MKID.

The designers describe their processes and inspirations in the films, as well as discussing how living in Malmö, Skåne's creative capital, impacts their work.
