Slanted Magazine #39 – Stockholm

If you just think of IKEA, Greta, Abba, Sylvia, and Björn Borg or red wooden horses when you think of Sweden, you're far off. In the summer of 2021, the Slanted team travelled to Stockholm to take a close look at the contemporary design scene.

Slanted meets internationally renowned legends, including Stockholm graphic designer Björn Kusoffsky of Stockholm Design Lab, David Eriksson, founder of teenage engineering, Magnus Gustafsson, founder of Paul & friends, and award winning architect Andreas Martin-Löf and graphic designer Maja Kölqvist. In its 39th issue, Slanted gathers a selection of Stockholm’s most brilliant minds and provides deep insights into their work and values in numerous video interviews, which will be available online for free. Illustrations, interviews, essays, and an extensive appendix with many useful tips and an overview with the best Swedish writings complete the issue thematically.
