Business & Design Lab activity

We were up early to catch the 8AM train to Stockholm; three hours of civilized travel in a first class seat with breakfast and wifi provided. A short walk brought us to the Swedish Industrial Design offices (my first on-ground, or more correctly, on-the sixth-floor, visit to SVID) for a meeting between graduating students in the master’s program in business and design and senior managers of design consultancies in Stockholm. It was for informational purposes and networking rather than as a recruiting event. The presentations were in Swedish, but of course everyone there could speak English so I was able to meet some of the CEOs and students (No photos of the event)











Mid-afternoon, with duty behind us, we walked through the city to the Modern Museum.










Saw some modern sculpture (?) and a Karl Schwitters painting that took me back to my drawing class.





Then the journey in reverse, arriving back in the flat in Gothenburg just before 10 PM – just as the light was finally leaving the sky. I’d better head to bed because it will be getting light again around 4 AM.
