Green was a big trend at the Stockholm Furniture Fair ; from the color of products, to a genuine move to bring the outside in. “Grow” was no exception.

Jacob Grant’s The Sound of the Forest (above) was inspired by findings that spending time in a leafy forest can reduce stress and mental illness and is a call to “bring trees inside.” Carl Johansson and Elias Malmberg created three stackable units to dry grown and foraged herbs, berries and peel preserving both their taste and their health benefits (above and below)
