Svensk Form
En studie om hur föreningen Svensk Form styrs i bakgrund av regeringens uppdrag och föreningens mål
Swedish design is known all over the world and is seen in national as well as in international arenas. There is only one design organization in Sweden that has the task to represent Swedish design in public. The organization is Swedish Form and it is the oldest design organization in the world. It has a huge influence in our society, within design and form. In the end of 1990 the association received its first government assignment, which still continues. A large part of this assignment involves being a venue to form and design in addition to distributing knowledge about these to the public. How is an association like this, that has a government assignment and has to follow the association prescription with a responsibility to its members, being ruled? Swedish Form is an association with thousands of members that are an important part of the association?s activity. The members and the government are two considerable parts of Swedish Form that in various ways controls and gives directives to the association. How much space is given to Swedish Form by the government to control the activity by itself, and which directives do they have to follow? These are questions that will be clarified in this study, which is about how Swedish Form is ruled by the government?s demand and the association?s aim.
