Malmstens offers training in furniture design, furniture carpentry and upholstery. With tradition as a starting point, they work with furniture for the future. The three educations, all with furniture as a common denominator, provide unique opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange. In their tailor-made premises and well-equipped workshops, students work in small groups. Each student's individual process and focus takes place in direct dialogue with teachers and supervisors.

This is a symposium with the aim of discussing a renegotiation of two styles/concepts which have a strong influence on the field of form: "The new" and "the old". There will be discussions and examples showing how simultaneously presented layers of different styles and times in one and the same interior design can enhance a room design - something new that grew out of something old. The symposium is patronized by two household gods: Karin Larsson and Carlo Scarpa, an artist and an architect who were both boldly innovative in their interior design projects and where the new took its nourishment from, and grew out of, the old, the existing. Larsson and Scarpa saw tradition as a challenge. The old was a prerequisite for the new.

The exhibition "Sträng/String" by John Funkquist is about how certain conditions are already given and should be used whether one wants to or not. It's also about the fact that despite this, there is a lot of potential within what's given. The room for maneuver is always larger than one thinks. But most importantly, it's about how certain things, after certain preparations, can be put together in a way that is both reliable and unreliable at the same time. John Funkquist is a cabinet maker. Lately he has been trying to become something else too.
