Stockholm Furniture Fair Week

Updated 3 min read

The Stockholm Furniture Fair fills Stockholmsmässan in Älvsjö each February with exhibitors setting up stands and buyers arriving to see them, largely across the same handful of days — a trade event with a specific venue and a specific kind of traveller, distinct from the wider design-week programming that runs alongside it around the city.

This guide is for the trade side of the week: exhibitors and buyers arriving at the fair itself, getting to Älvsjö specifically, and keeping receipts straight for expensing the trip.

A trade fair, not a city festival

Unlike the broader design week happening in venues around Stockholm during the same period, the furniture fair itself is centred entirely on Stockholmsmässan, the exhibition centre in Älvsjö, south of the city centre. If you're here for the trade fair specifically — exhibiting, buying, or attending as an industry visitor — your itinerary is built around that one venue rather than the city.

Arriving during peak fair days

Exhibitors setting up stands typically arrive ahead of the fair's public days, and buyers and industry visitors cluster around the opening days once the halls are live. Both waves mean a busier-than-usual period at Arlanda for arrivals tied to the fair, so booking your transfer ahead of these dates rather than on the day is worth doing.

Getting to Älvsjö directly

Stockholmsmässan sits well south of the city centre, so if your first stop is the fair itself rather than a hotel, a direct transfer to Älvsjö saves working out a route via central Stockholm first. The fixed price and route are shown before you book, whether you're heading straight to the venue with samples and stand materials or to a hotel before the fair opens.

  • Book a transfer direct to Älvsjö if your first stop is the fair, not a city hotel
  • Exhibitors arriving early to set up should book ahead of the fair's opening day specifically
  • Flight tracking covers a delayed arrival without disrupting a tight setup schedule

Receipts for expensing the trip

Book with your company's details so the receipt is made out correctly with the VAT line from the start, rather than needing to be reissued or explained during expense reconciliation. That applies whether it's one exhibitor travelling alone or several colleagues arriving separately across the fair's opening days.

What every Förare booking includes

The fixed price you see before booking is the price on your receipt — 6% VAT included, whole car, not per person.

  • Flight tracked — pickup follows your live arrival
  • 45 minutes free waiting, from your driver's confirmed arrival
  • No terminal fee
  • No surge pricing, ever
  • Free cancellation up to 12 hours

Questions people ask before booking

Is the Stockholm Furniture Fair the same as Stockholm Design Week?

No — the furniture fair is the trade event held at Stockholmsmässan in Älvsjö, while design week is a broader programme of exhibitions and events around the city during the same period. This guide covers the trade fair itself.

Can I book a transfer straight to Stockholmsmässan in Älvsjö?

Yes — a direct transfer to Älvsjö is available if your first stop is the fair rather than a city hotel, with the fixed price and route shown before you book.

Should exhibitors arrive earlier than the fair's public opening?

Many do, to set up stands ahead of the public days. Book your transfer for your actual arrival date, whether that's before the fair opens or on an opening day itself.

Can I get a company receipt for the transfer?

Yes — book with your company's details so the receipt is made out correctly to the business, with the VAT line included, from the first booking.

Is Arlanda busier than usual during the fair's opening days?

It can be, with exhibitors and buyers arriving in the same window. Booking ahead rather than on the day is worth it during peak fair dates.
