The International Pavilion at the all new 100% Design ^[6] exhibition during the London Design Festival ^[7] led the way with a selection of amazing eco-designs from across the globe. Our favorite finds included everything from solar-powered candles to clever cardboard furniture and lamps made of reclaimed wood - read on for a closer look!

^[8]

Marco Stefanelli ^[9]‘ Breccias collection repurposes natural objects which have reached the end of their life – including sawmill scraps, pieces of urban architecture, and logs carried by the river. He gives them a second chance by “pulling the light from the subject and amplifying the sensory experience.”

^[10]

Laokoon ^[11] is a flexible fabric that can be made from various materials including wood and cork. It can be used in interiors and fashion in place of synthetic materials like plastic.

^[12]

Studio Inbetween ^[13]‘s One Piece of Lamp is made from a single sheet of aviation plywood, making it lightweight and compact for transportation, thus reducing its environmental impact.

^[14]

CIGA Design Co presented these solar-powered LED ^[15] candles, which provide a safe and green alternative to the real thing.

^[16]

Bravo! ^[17] unveiled a collection of La Familia tableware made from two materials abundant in Brazil – wood and copper. The collection supports the local economy, and combining traditional crafts with new technology provides investment in both fields.

^[18]

Capellino ^[19] presented a range of sustainable cardboard furniture including this Linea chair (shown above), a coffee table and even a light shade.

^[20]

CDC ^[21] represented the young designer scene in Portugal and showed a range of sustainable cork products including these bird houses.

^[22]

And finally Nautinox ^[23] showed Green Book – a bookcase planter that takes the concept of ‘green design’ quite literally.
