The Green Furniture Award is run by the design studio 'Berhin Studios. The jury has a mix from authorities in sustainable design and the furniture industry.  Green Furniture Sweden produce five of the contributions from 2009 and 2011.

 

A spin off of the Award, has been that several of the winners has joined Berhin Studios' freelance team working on sustainable furniture design for European brands. We also receive an increasing amount of good contributions, and top designs from the award 2011 and on will, in agreement with the designer, also be presented to a selection of these brands.

 

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.
