Summary: Supports Scandinavian architects seeking professional experience in interior design through a paid internship at SOM.
Key Information: Applicants must hold Scandinavian citizenship; the program page contains differing career-stage and enrollment requirements.
The American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF) and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) offer this fellowship for Scandinavian architects seeking interior-design experience in New York City. Also called the Annika Teig Fellowship, it honors a former SOM Associate. The opportunity centers on professional work at SOM’s Wall Street office rather than a separately proposed research project. Fellows work with established project teams on day-to-day planning and design.
The fellowship connects ASF’s mission of educational and cultural exchange between the United States and the Nordic countries with experience in architectural practice. SOM Interiors is a research-based, collaborative practice bringing together interior designers, architects, planners, workplace strategists, industrial designers, graphic designers, and technology experts.
