The Torsten and Wanja Söderberg Nordic Prize for Design and Crafts was established by the Torsten and Ragnar Söderberg Foundations to mark the 100th anniversary of Torsten Söderberg’s birth on November 4, 1894. Starting in 2014, the Torsten Söderberg Foundation became the sole sponsor of the prize.

The award highlighted innovation and excellence in craft and design over 25 years, 1994-2018.

The prize money of SEK 1 million was awarded to a person working in one of the Nordic countries and the winner was given the opportunity to create their own exhibition at the Röhsska Museum.

Among the design awards where the winner is selected by a jury and the prize is awarded annually, the Torsten and Wanja Söderberg Prize was the largest in the world. The jury consisted of the director of the Röhsska Museum (chair), representatives from the five Nordic countries (usually the directors of the design museums in the Nordic region), and, for many years, the foundation’s late former chair, Tomas Söderberg.
