Tomorrow night’s PechaKucha Night in Stockholm Vol. 32 is going to be a special event indeed, including an international list of guests, with all presentations focusing on Helsinki as World Design Capital. You’ll find the full list of presenters with links on the official event page.
Again from PechaKucha Night in Stockholm, this time with Illka Suppanen showcasing the “Best of Sweden” by way of Backyard Babies, Swedish meatballs, and the ways IKEA can help you out of a crisis.
And now we go to Stockholm by way of Japan with “MechaKucha Boys for PechaKucha Night,” presented by Teruo Kurasaki at PechaKucha Night in Stockholm Vol. 20, held in conjunction with Stockholm Design Week.
In case you haven’t noticed, we’ve been on quite a roll of late in terms of updating the “Presentations” section of the site, with usually 2-3 new presentations getting uploaded on a daily basis. Today we feature another presentation from PechaKucha Night in Stockholm Vol. 20 — held in conjunction with Stockholm Design Week — this time with Satyendra Pakhale talking about living in one big global city.
Today’s presentation comes to us from Stockholm, presented during the city’s momentous Vol. 20, held in conjunction with Stockholm Design Week.
Sigriour Sigurjonsdottir — a professor at the Product Design Iceland Academy of the Arts — talks about their farming project. They went out into the countryside and tried to add value to the production of the Icelandic farmers. See what came out of it!
As we kick off a new week of presentation highlights — you do know that we have a terrific “Presentations” section on the site, right? — with “Sketch Book of Life,” presented by Martin Willers at PechaKucha Night in Stockholm Vol. 21.
An amazing presentation of sketches, which show how to use the inspiration of life to lift the possibilities of humanity to new heights! Brilliant — thanks Martin!
Today’s presentation comes courtesy of the one and only Ewa Kumlin, founder of Swedish Style in Tokyo, who talks us through the event’s history — this year was Swedish Style’s 10th anniversary.
Ewa is Managing Director of Svensk Form, founder of Swedish Style in Tokyo now celebrating 10 years and the organizer of PechaKucha Nights in Stockholm.
Ewa and Swedish Style have done so much to promote cultural exchange between Japan and Sweden — and shows what positive energy can do in the world, here’s to another 10 years. Ewa Power for Ever!
The presentation was part of a special Swedish Style edition of PechaKucha Night at SuperDeluxe during Tokyo Design Week — all of the presentations from that night’s event are now up, and accessible from this page.
PechaKucha Night is back in Stockholm tonight (May 7) for Vol. 17, at the regular venue of Berns Night Club. Make sure not to miss the 20:20 start!
Pecha Kucha Night had another great turnout in Stockholm, with Vol. 16 packing in over 300 in a venue that usually holds 180. The event was held in a proper conference hall as well, instead of the usual night club.
In a bit of twist, the idea for the evening was to have women presenters only, although as you’ll see from organizer Ewa Kumlin’s report, an exception was made at the end:
Yvonne Sörensen, the managing director of Berns started the talks, followed by Pascale Cottard-Olsson, a French girl who moved to Stockholm and has a good design gallery here, Stockholm jet’aime. Mathilda Tham commuting between London and Stockholm talked about working with design students and sustainabillity from an intuitive and emotional angle. Ilse Crawford talked about how we have to regain the feeling and value of water. Anna Sjons Nilsson made us laugh and cry with her absurd traditional riddles and personal craft interpretations. Katrin Olina took us to her dream world, her longing for trees. Her colleague, Thorey Vilhjalmsdottir, also from Iceland — she has started a design center there — showed us how Iceland is the country where the designers first saw it coming — the finance crisis — and they have for a longer time than most of us made use of this situation, creating with more humour and with nearby, sparse, and existing materials. Marcia Harvey, a Zimbabwe-born former economist living in Sweden for 10 years now and a recent student of Beckmans, shared her personal language and her physical passion for guacamole. The last lady of the evening, who took my spot, turned out to be Jesper Larsson, the Gothenburg ambassador for Pecha Kucha Night, showing how to transform a one-room apartment into a free Creators Inn.
The next edition of PKN Stockholm is set for March 12 — a Thursday, as always — with the venue yet to be decided.
