Excellent Swedish Design (Utmärkt Svensk Form) was a design award handed out by the Swedish Society of Crafts and Design (Svensk Form) 1983-2002.
In the early 1980s, the opportunities for designers in Sweden were scarce. Few companies had realized the importance of consulting a designer. The chairman of the designers section of Svensk Form, Hans-Christer Ericson, then presented the idea of a design prize, to be awarded to various professional design organizations and their producers.
In 1983 the first jury presented their choice, and after that the prize was handed out every year until 2002.
From 2005 onwards the award has been replaced by national design awards Design S and Young Swedish Form(Ung Svensk Form).
