Open Call: BISe x SSDD 2023

Apply to participate in a group exhibition with selected objects at restaurant BISe during Southern Sweden Design Days. Deadline 20 March

As a partner of SSDD, BISe will dedicate its new bar "Bar Bisou" as the festival's official hangout for participants - Malmö's equivalent to Bar Basso during Milan Design Week. Throughout the festival week, Mon 22/5 – Sun 28/5, Bar Bisou opens its doors and becomes a meeting place for design colleagues to meet after closing.

BISe is now looking for designers who want to 'SSDD-ify' the venue and give designers the opportunity to display objects in the restaurant. Do you want to decorate the tables, walls, floors or staff? Have an idea for an SSDD special dish or drink on the menu during the festival? Exhibiting at BISe is free of charge.

About BISe

BISe has become an obvious name in Malmö's restaurant scene since the opening last year. BISe is a place that strives to get away from clear concepts. The menu is fluid and constantly changing, based on classic French cuisine but occasionally with a Japanese or Swedish twist.
