Improving life: the design of Swedish innovations
4 Aug 2007 to 14 Oct 2007
Over 60 examples of Swedish industrial design and innovation showing how design plays a leading role in our lives.
From simple, ingenious objects, to advanced, pioneering technology, Improving life demonstrates how turning an innovation into reality requires both creativity and the ability to recognise the everyday needs of users.

In a globalised world with an almost overwhelming flood of products and services design is a crucial factor in the development process and designers are involved from the concept stage to the finished product. Improving life showcases innovative products from a range of companies including, Volvo Cars, SonyEricsson, Bahco, DeCell, Dignitana, Neonode, Perific, Baby Björn, Tetra Pak, Electrolux, Jolife, and Husqvarna.

Exhibition produced by Svensk Form in collaboration with the Swedish Institute.
