More than seven years after our most recently published issue: Stockholm New magazine nominated to yet another prestigious Nordic design prize!

"Stockholm New is a journal that people would still say is outstanding even in 20-25 years time"

-Esquire Japan, Top 100 things, July 2009

We've claimed it before, but it's worth repeating: in the fleeting world of fashion and fashion magazines, it's touching how our own magazine Stockholm New continues to "live", more than seven years after our most recent issue was published back in May 2002 (Stockholm New No.12 — the Royal issue, with the famed Mikael Jansson image of our Swedish Crown Princess Victoria on the cover.)

Another proof of this "lasting" quality is that Stockholm New, richly awarded in its time, has now, seven years later, been selected for an exclusive Nordic design exhibition and nominated for yet another prestigious new Nordic design prize.

It's the new Danish design and furniture fair CODE, which is staged for the very first time in the Bella center in Copenhagen in September — with the ambition of becoming the Nordic region's leading design event — that introduces a brand new Nordic design exhibition and a design prize with the name Nordic Selected. A number of objects from the categories graphic, industrial, interactive and architectural design have been selected as representing the best Nordic design from the ten years. The nominated objects will be presented in a printed catalogue, on the web and in an exhibition at the CODE fair. The exhibition's head of curators, Professor Florian Hufnagl, will then select shortlists of first ten, then three objects that will be highlighted in the exhibition during the fair. Finally, one single object will be crowned with the prize Nordic Selected Award for the best Nordic design of all categories from the past decade.

Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Iceland are each represented in the exhibition/competition by two curators. The Swedish curators, who have nominated Stockholm New in this honorable context, are Monica Förster and Björn Dahlström. We're most greatful of course!
