Five projects that highlight circular design at Southern Sweden Design Days 2024
Fashion garments made from airbags and furniture crafted from "unattractive" materials are among the projects on show at this year's Southern Sweden Design Days in Malmö.
Organised by architecture and design centre Form/Design Center, the annual design festival Southern Sweden Design Days showcases work from national and international participants across design, architecture and crafts.
Operating under this year's theme of 'care', the festival's fourth edition is populated with work by designers aiming to tackle carbon emissions in their respective industries ? with a particular focus on locally-produced artwork and products.
Here, we have collected five projects that highlight this year's focus on care, sustainability and circularity:

Airbag Project by Malmö Upcycling Service
A collection of garments made from 200 reclaimed airbags was showcased as part of a group exhibition led by design studio Malmö Upcycling Service at this year's Southern Sweden Design Days.
Created by a group of local fashion and textile artists, including Studio Soriano, the collection ranges from bespoke handbags and jackets to lighting and conceptual designs.
The exhibition, which was curated by industrial designer Anna Gudmundsdottir, explores the potential reuse of waste airbags. These are currently "impossible for the industry to re-use and extremely hard to recycle", the designer said.
