The Scandinavia Show will be held on 6th - 7th October 2012 at the Brompton Hall, Earls Court London.

The only UK show dedicated exclusively to showcase the best of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands, the Scandinavia Show incorporates Scandinavian design, travel, lifestyle, fashion, culture and food.

All exhibitors will have well-stocked stalls, so that the best of Scandinavian travel, food, furniture, design and lifestyle - everything can be purchased at The Scandinavia Show.

The show is focusing on four of Scandinavia's most successful exports: -

Design and Lifestyle; if you love the bright and airy Scandinavian design, then The Scandinavia Show will be a can't-miss event.

The show will exhibit everything from top-end furniture, lighting, fabrics, carpets, interior design items, designer clothes and footwear, to timeless design classics that will always embody the simple, yet stylish Scandinavian disposition.

Travel; Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands are some of the greatest travel destinations in the world. And The Scandinavia Show will be the UK's single most important showcase for Nordic tourism this year.

Food; all the most mouth-watering specialities from the Nordic culinary table will be showcased at The Scandinavia Show.

On top of the normal stands boasting great design pieces, Swedish designer Staffan Tollgård will create three Scandinavian rooms that will encapsulate the best of Scandinavian design.

Tollgård will be designing three typically Nordic rooms, including one from the Gustavian period, one capturing the retro feel of the 50s and 60s, and the final one showing off design from the last 10-15 years.

I am very excited about creating the different rooms and including furniture that will be representative of the specific time periods. Great designs take themselves out of a timeline, so the surprise will be putting them back into their context.

I think visitors to the house will see that Scandinavian design has been consistently ahead of the curve - that the Gustavian period and the mid-century modern aren't as historically unfamiliar as one would expect. The challenge for me is going to be narrowing down the designs from the huge selection of great Scandinavian pieces that represent each era.
