Dezeen promotion: selected design studios from Sweden will showcase their work at this year's London Design Fair, as part of a new four-year initiative called Swedish Design Moves.

Running from 21-24 September, Swedish Design Moves will showcase works by 11 designers from the southern county of Skåne.

Launching in the UK during this year's London Design Festival, the programme was commissioned by the Swedish government and aims to position the Nordic country as a leading design destination.

The exhibition will take place at the Swedish Design Pavilion as part of London Design Fair, which will be held in east London's Old Truman Brewery.

The Swedish Design Pavilion is arranged in partnership with Southern Sweden Creatives, a three-year project which aims to support creative companies to grow internationally.

Projects on display will reflect Sweden's creativity and craft heritage, with a focus on locally and sustainably produced objects.

As part of the initiative, a series of films have been created to portray six of the design studios participating at London Design Fair, including Malmö-based studio Stoft and industrial design studio MKID.

The designers describe their processes and inspirations in the films, as well as discussing how living in Malmö, Skåne county's creative capital, impacts their work.

Other designers to feature in the exhibition include textile designers Butler/Lindgård, furniture and lighting designers Swedish Ninja, and high-quality furniture brand Zweed.
