Scandinavian design studio Lotta Agaton Interiors has been commissioned to create the concept and set design for ECHO, a new exhibition platform for designers, design companies, journalists, and the design-interested public. The premiere edition will run from 3–6 February 2026, with a subsequent edition planned for Copenhagen in June 2026.

Founded in 2004, Lotta Agaton Interiors is one of Scandinavia's most influential interior design studios. For ECHO, the studio has crafted the exhibition's spatial framework, drawing inspiration from nature. The colour palette incorporates elements such as pine, moss, grass, and reed, which recur throughout the environment, reflecting the exhibitors' nature-inspired products.
Lotta Agaton explains:
"I immediately associated the word ECHO with my childhood summers in Norrland, and how sounds there echo across the river and between the mountains. That, along with the exhibitors' products, which clearly have a nature-inspired theme, became the foundation for the exhibition."
Karin Sköldberg, founder of ECHO, adds:
"I believe everyone dreams of getting closer to nature in different ways, and I hope ECHO becomes a small oasis for inspiration and reflection, offering a contrast to the everyday noise of the city."

The exhibition will take place at the Canon Workshop on Skeppsholmen, a venue adjacent to nature with views of Saltsjön and central Stockholm. The former workshop features raw industrial architecture and abundant natural light, providing a minimalist backdrop that complements both the set design and exhibitors' work.
