Smorgasbord of scandinavia

From enchanting forests and Sweden’s longest coastline to the innovations shaping tomorrow — all served with a generous helping of tradition. Kalmar is a region of remarkable contrasts and possibilities. What better way to capture this than through the Swedish smörgåsbord? A rich, diverse and distinctly Swedish concept that allows us to bring the region’s many strengths together — and put Kalmar in the driver’s seat of Scandinavia.

The visual language takes its cues from the golden age of the Swedish smörgåsbord in the 1920s and 1930s — a time when Swedish Grace was at its height, and dining tables were dressed with hand-embroidered linens.Each of Kalmar’s areas of strength was brought to life on its own individual plate. Tourism and hospitality, for instance, featured Villa Villekulla and Kalmar Castle, while the energy sector was represented by the Oskarshamn nuclear power plant and solar energy parks.
