“Looking for someone to guide you in a visual challenge? That’s when you call us. That is what we do. Welcome to Skarp Projects.”
SKARP PROJECTS is a creative studio operated by highly experienced creative producers, uniquely able to customize the right team for every individual project. We bring a powerful set of skills and work from a solid foundation of responsiveness, creativity and – perhaps most importantly – care. In other words, exactly the kind of capability that’s needed to bring a special project to life.
A vision or a strategy. A creative concept. An exhibition or a piece of art. A fashion show that redefines the concept of fashion shows. Our twenty plus years of experience in the fields of creative direction, strategy, art buying and never-seen-before collaborations make us pretty good at thinking big and bold. With knowledge, passion and dedication we will work on your ideas as if they were our own.
SKARP PROJECTS is our sister. A safe place for any special project that runs the risk of falling through the cracks and never seeing the light of day. Precious ideas with a creative twist and a visual challenge. If this describes your project, then it’s a special project: and we’ll be more than happy to welcome it into our arms.
The size of the projects will vary, but they are all isolated events – with a clear beginning, and definite end - based on a visual expression with a distinctly creative edge.

Mönstrade Positioner
Mönsterdesign har sedan millennieskiftet genomgått en revolution. I utställningen Mönstrade Positioner utforskas samtida textil mönsterdesign för rum och kropp genom verk av 14 tongivande nordiska formgivare och konstnärer. Det blir en resa genom dagens gränsöverskridande mönstervärld där frågor om fult/vackert, digitalt/analogt, abstrakt/konkret inte längre har tydliga svar.
“Since the turn of the millennium, pattern design has undergone a technical and aesthetic revolution, to a great extent spurred on by the development of digital technology. In PRINTED POSITIONS, contemporary textile-pattern design is explored through works by 14 Nordic designers and artists.
Curated by Martin Bergström and Andrea Hasselrot, PRINTED POSITIONS looks at how the field of textile patterns has been revolutionised from the ground up over the past 25 years, with changes to design methods, production techniques, and attitudes to patterns.
Patterns are present in nature, in our homes and on our bodies. They are ubiquitous in all kinds of design, not least in the textile field. But what constitutes a pattern today when digital technology has upended traditional ideas of repetition and printing techniques?
The exhibition takes us on a journey through the multidisciplinary patterns of today, where distinctions between interior design and fashion, ugliness and beauty, digital and analogue, and abstract and concrete are becoming increasingly blurred. This is an age that in one moment takes inspiration from nature and the next works with abstraction, moving between the future and the past, the playfully humorous and the graphically strict.”
