I am really impressed with the speakers that the American Swedish Institute have brought in with their “17 Swedish Designers” exhibit. In addition to the talk by Swedish product designers, Pia Amsell & Barbro Wesslander, the ASI hosts a presentation on Monday, May 24th by IKEA Product Design Strategist, Mats Nilsson. With the $7 admission ($5 for ASI members), guests can view the “17 Swedish Designers” exhibit and enjoy drinks from the cash bar on the mansion’s veranda. The speech begins at 7pm in the ASI auditorium.
Nilsson has been with IKEA since 1982 working a range of roles, focusing on product presentation in IKEA stores, catalogs and advertising. He is now part of the strategy team that leads the work of 50 product developers who create IKEA’s product range.
The event is at the American Swedish Institute
