Tocco Report: Stockholm Design Week 2025

Exploring the Future of Materials for Home Products in the Nordics

A New Nordic Narrative: once defined by clean lines and quiet elegance, Stockholm Design Week is now a stage for something far more layered. Running alongside the Stockholm Furniture Fair, this year’s edition revealed a design scene in flux, less about rigid minimalism. Across the city of Stockholm, independent studios, galleries, and unexpected hosts curated a rather exciting vision of Scandinavian design, mixed with inspirations from the rest of the world.

During Stockholm Design Week, Tocco joined Industrial Design Community, Electrolux Group and PX-Lab, and 100+ industrial designers at A house Katarinahuset to discuss early-stage products, materials, and prototypes for better, bolder products for Homes.

This is a recap of the Tocco team from the Stockholm Design Week 2025.
