Acoustic Greenwall 2.0
Akustik Fabrik, Netherlands
“Today, the market for sound absorbing products is mainly made up of cold technical products made of unsustainable materials. Alternatively, we designed Greenwall 2.0, a sustainable and modular moss wall that combines proven sound absorption technology with natural aesthetics. The innovation consists in the combination of natural elements with the effectiveness and ease with which it can be mounted on multiple surfaces. Greenwall 2.0 is much more than a product, it is an internal solution that transforms any space into a naturally happy one ”.
Artichair
Kizis STUDIO, UK
“The thistle is a native plant of the western and central Mediterranean region, where it was domesticated in ancient times. With this project, we have developed a new eco-material 100% -biodegradable and explored possible applications within product design. An armchair and a chair have been designed to demonstrate the potential of the material to be used in the furniture sector. Since the material biodegrades upon disposal, and thistle seeds are part of its composition, it is possible that a new thistle plant will grow wherever the products are buried at the end of their useful life. "
8pandas Series1
8pandas c / o brand.partner GmbH, Germany
“8pandas produces its products that use only ecological practices and materials; everything is 100% natural and made from two renewable, biodegradable resources: bamboo and corn starch. This promising new material is the ideal alternative to plastic. Series 1 and Series 2 consist of various pieces of fine tableware, including plates, cups, bowls and utensils that are sustainable, aesthetically appealing and functional. Furthermore, all the products were developed by famous designers. The dishes are suitable for everyday use at home, for indoor and outdoor events, as well as in the catering sector ”.
Alma
Muotoilutoimisto Ehee, Finland
“The versatility of Alma is an endless surprise: It can be hung from the ceiling, placed on a desk or mounted on the wall. This concept of changeability was the starting point for its design and extends its usability and durability, as users can reposition the lamp according to their current needs. The handle emphasizes the mobility of the lamp and serves as a hook for hanging. Alma is crafted from molded Finnish birch veneer and finished with beautiful ash. Its name is inspired by its shape, which resembles a bag (“Kassi-Alma” in Finnish means “bag lady”) ”.
