Norwegian urban furniture brand Vestre has won the best stand award at Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair for an installation featuring re-usable materials and information about the carbon footprint of every product.
Designed by Note Design Studio, the stand features walls clad in uncut sheets of plywood, stands built up of uncemented bricks and a floor of stone chips.
After the fair, the materials will be stored for future use rather than thrown away."We've chosen to work with unprocessed natural materials where wastage is minimal," said Johannes Karlström of Note Design Studio, which also designed a recyclable stand for flooring brand Tarkett at the same fair.
Note Design Studio created the re-usable stand for Vestre's exhibit at Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair "The idea was to create a beautiful backdrop that is in harmony with the design of Vestre's products, while minimising the amount of waste when the stand is dismantled after the trade show closes," he added.
"The stand is made of natural materials such as wood, bricks and stone," added Note Design Studio's Daniel Heckscher. "Everything is fully recyclable and reusable. It?s modular in the sense that the wood panels are demountable and not screwed or glued."
Heckscher added that the studio hopes that just five per cent of all materials used to build the stand will be wasted.
