Connected virtual exhibition sees nine designers craft carbon-negative furniture from hardwoods
Dezeen promotion: a range of carbon-negative furniture items created by designers including Ini Archibong and Thomas Heatherwick for London's Design Museum can now be viewed as part of a permanent virtual exhibition.
Jointly commissioned by the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC), Benchmark Furniture and the Design Museum, the Connected exhibition tasked nine designers with creating a table and seating object for their own home offices.
"It takes a little over 10 seconds for the hardwood logs harvested to manufacture all the Connected designs to be replaced by new growth in the US forest," it continued. "The full environmental Life Cycle Assessments on each of the nine projects prove that these pieces are environmentally sound, going beyond carbon neutrality and leaving a negative carbon footprint."
Sabine Marcelis designed a work-from-home cubicle with a bright yellow interior for the show
Details on the exhibition can be found via the Design Museum website, while more information on the work AHEC does can be found on its webpage.
