A unique collaboration between Konserthuset Stockholm, the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and Konstfack
4 May 2026
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the architect Ivar Tengbom's proud Concert Hall in Stockholm, a milestone being celebrated in many different ways. One of these is a competition created through a unique collaboration.

During the Concert Hall's renovation ahead of the anniversary, the old copper sheets on the roof were replaced. In connection with this, the idea emerged to invite students from Konstfack's Jewellery and Corpus programme to create a number of objects under the theme "Carry a piece of Konserthuset Stockholm with you."
In a jury-assessed competition, three winning proposals will be selected. These will be produced and, from this autumn, offered for sale in the Konserthuset shop—as a memento of a visit, of a musical experience, or of the building itself with all its beautiful details.
Konserthuset will provide the material. The Royal Academy of Fine Arts, through a grant from the Göran Lagervall Foundation, will make it possible to award prize money to the participating students. The competition results will be announced in early June, and the winners will receive their prizes in connection with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra's concert on 16 September 2026.
