Open Call: Exhibit in Folkets Park during PRE-MDD
Ahead of Malmö Design Days 2027, the outdoor exhibition PRE-MDD will take place in Folkets Park in Malmö. As a participant, you have the opportunity to present your work, ideas and processes to a broad audience and offer a preview of what to expect during the design festival on 19–22 May.
Folkets Park is Sweden’s oldest public park of its kind and a popular green oasis in the heart of Malmö. Organised in collaboration with Folkets Park, PRE-MDD serves as a prelude to Malmö Design Days, bringing design into public spaces and reaching new audiences.
Exhibition Period and Participation
Exhibition period: 28 March–21 April 2027
During PRE-MDD, you can showcase an ongoing project, an upcoming exhibition, a design process, a prototype or previous work.
Participation is free of charge.
Exhibition Opportunities
Two types of exhibition spaces are available: plexiglass display cases and a glass container.
Plexiglass Display Case
There are eight freestanding plexiglass display cases, each accommodating one exhibitor.
Internal dimensions:
- Height: 192 cm
- Width: 78 cm
- Length: 118 cm
Placement of Exhibition Objects
All objects must fit within the internal dimensions of the display case. Objects can be placed on the base of the display case or suspended from the ceiling inside the plexiglass enclosure.
A rail along the long side of the ceiling can be used to suspend lighter objects.
Installation
Exhibition objects must be positioned and installed before the plexiglass enclosure is lowered into place using a lift. Once the display case is closed, the plexiglass enclosure must be lifted off to make any adjustments.
It is therefore important to plan the exhibition layout and placement of objects in advance.
Glass Container
One glass container is available for use by one or several exhibitors.
Dimensions:
- Height: 260 cm
- Width: 240 cm
- Length: 600 cm
The glass container offers space for presenting larger objects or a joint exhibition featuring several participants.
