ArkDes reopens its doors and is celebrating with an action-packed opening weekend from September 27-29.<\/p>\n

Step through the new entrance of ArkDes into a world filled with architecture and design. The redesigned exhibition halls, created by the architectural firm Arrhov Frick, showcase materials from one of the world\u2019s largest architectural collections, the ArkDes Collection<\/em>. Here, you can see the winning proposal for the Stockholm Public Library, L\u00e9onie Geisendorf\u2019s noticeboard, and the trendiest disco from the 1980s.<\/p>\n

In the temporary exhibition Designing Motherhood: Things That Make and Break Our Births<\/em>, you can try a birthing chair and see the first breast pump designed for women\u2019s bodies. At Torget, ArkDes\u2019 new meeting place, you can reflect on the architecture and design of tomorrow through the installation Power of Places<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Join one of the many tours during the weekend, discover never-before-seen materials with ArkDes curators in the new concept Unboxing<\/em>, and play at Utsikten<\/em>, ArkDes\u2019 secret garden for children.<\/p>\n
