Theme 2025: ECHO
The theme for Southern Sweden Design Days is 'ECHO' and encourages exploration of the dynamic relationship between the past, present, and future. Like an echo, design is not isolated—it resonates, evolves, and influences its surroundings. Every design solution creates ripples, impacting both the environments it exists in and the people who interact with it.
