Welcome to the Green Furniture Award!
This is a furniture design competition to encourage the production of furniture with Outstanding Sustainable Design.
Outstanding Sustainable Design incorporates aspects such as the choice and sourcing of material, production methods, efficient use of materials and ways of disassembling and recycling. Outstanding Sustainable Design also meaning a piece of furniture to keep and treasure – with a story to tell, that ages in a nice way, that can last beyond current trends and have the potential of becoming a classic.
