See a spectacular new embassy and the Room for Gotland exhibition!

For the first time, a House of Sweden is being erected outside Sweden, to be home to the Swedish embassy and representatives of Swedish commerce. The opening exhibition in October is named “Room for Gotland” and showcases design from Gotland, the home of G.A.D.

About the exhibition
Room for Gotland captures an island of art and design. Gotland, a Swedish island in the Baltic Sea, has distinguished itself as a source of inspiration for innovative Swedish form and design. Home to a large number of artists, designers, sculptors and authors, Gotland has become an influential setting for textile printers, ceramicists and furniture design stores. Room for Gotland reveals how the artists work intimately with old handicraft traditions, and how the natural environment of their island paradise has influenced their sense of form. The materials used by the artists participating in this exhibit range from the sharpest barbed wire to the softest lamb's wool.
