Swedish Wood builds international bridges in wood design
Swedish Wood has brought together two Swedish institutes of education and the American University of Dubai to contribute to more international exchanges in the area of wood design. “It’s important to market Swedish wood products abroad. There is great potential in Swedish Wood showing the distinctive character of pine as a wood of beauty that can be brought out even more in finer furniture design”, says Léo Johannsson, lecturer at Carl Malmsten Furniture Studies, one of the two schools visited during the study trip, which also included meetings with Sweden’s wood processing industries.
