STAY INSPIRED WITH THE INTERIORWORKS MAGAZINE
The city of Copenhagen as one big showroom, with the most beautiful exhibitions, furniture and concepts, we feasted our eyes at 3daysofdesign. Extra attention this year was paid to the theme of "sustainability. A challenging theme. Especially in the world of design, where you prefer to see new designs every season. We saw three innovations that made us happy; innovative, beautiful and with an eye to the future.
When you think of sustainable furniture, the first thing that comes to mind is the material a piece of furniture is made of. And yes, of course the Boa Table is made of at least 75% recycled aluminum. The recycling is done in Denmark itself using renewable energy.
But the extra impact of the Boa Table is in the assembly. In fact, the Boa Table is made according to the idea of flat packaging. The idea is that you literally fold the tubular frame itself, making everything transportable in a flat package. That makes transportation more compact, efficient and sustainable. The hollow tubes, based on Japanese bamboo craftsmanship, are made so that power and cable storage can be elegantly tucked inside for a neat and tidy office.
In addition to the furniture itself, there are also brands that focus on sustainable development of the materials themselves. A very topical theme within the trend of Conscious Design, where organizations consider the choices they make step by step in the design process. Inga Sempé and Isa Glink of Kvadrat came to the design of the fabric Multiply in this regard. Instead of limiting themselves to conventional materials, they chose to include paper, recycled silk and the new plant-based silk variant of TENCEL™ LUXE for this new curtain fabric. In addition, Kvadrat developed the textile Tero; the first fabric made of 100% recycled polyester. With fluorocarbon-free top coating, making it one step more sustainable. Good to see that Kvadrat is so committed to making the choice of sustainable design easier for all designers!
One brand that commits itself to the highest environmental standards is +halle. In everything they do, they respect nature and society. For example, they ensure that workers in their factories are safe and happy at work, plant and cut down trees with respect for nature, and make the metal from 99% circular steel. With the HEB table, they present a versatile line. Cheerful, sleek and applicable in any environment. By finishing the edge of the top with high gloss they bring a subtle wink to the design.
You see: the Danes have their backs to the past and their eyes on the future. With these innovations, your good conscience no longer has to get in the way of beautiful design. We look forward to next year's innovations!
