Does your design fit within our selection? Discover the 5 pillars of high-quality, impactful and circular design
We select designs that contribute to a future-proof, sustainable, high-end interior experience with strong stories and transparency. Check whether your design meets at least one of the following pillars:
1. Upcycled Design
- Is your design made from at least 60% recovered waste streams or waste materials?
- Is the material transformed in a high-quality and creative way, while retaining its character and aesthetics?
- Does your design have an authentic story about its origin and production process?
2. Design for Longevity & Repairability
- Is your design made for a long life with quality materials and solid construction?
- Is it modular, demountable and easy to repair or upgrade?
- Does it support reuse or recycling at the end of its life?
3. Bio-based & Recycled Materials
- Do you use renewable, plant-based (bio-based) materials or recycled raw materials?
- Can you transparently demonstrate where the materials come from and how they contribute to environmental friendliness?
4. Re-used & Refurbished Design
- Does your design consist of reused furniture or materials that have been given a new lease of life with minimal processing?
- Does the design retain its original value and identity, for example through vintage or refurbished elements?
5. Transparent Story & Traceability
- Do you have detailed information about the materials used, makers and production methods?
- Can this information be shared with users via a product passport or other traceability tools?
- Does your design convey a clear message that communicates sustainability, craftsmanship or social impact?
Does your design meet one or more of these criteria? Then you are on your way to being accepted for our curator selection. We encourage you to clearly communicate your story and include evidence of sustainability and circular qualities.
