A finalist at the Green Furniture Awards 2012, the ‘A-Board’ by Argentine-born Italy-based Tomas Schön’s is a bookshelf that consists simply of an eco-labeled plywood board and one strong orange ribbon. Using an innovative way to bend wood with the use of a laser cutter, this flat-pack, no-glue, no-screw shelving unit transforms from a single sheet into a shelf with just the pull of its ribbon. Exhibited at this year’s Stockholm Furniture Fair, this elegant piece of design is self-supporting and will rest elegantly against any wall.

Designer Lies-Marie Hoffmann recently dropped a series of sculptural benches made from Elm-trunks throughout the streets of Stockholm. Dubbed “Homage to the Elm trees”, the project investigated how sculptural sustainable designs can influence environmental awareness and the public’s appreciation of nature. The result is a series of immense, chunky seats that encourage us to look at nature with fresh eyes while thinking and acting differently towards it.

Natural, local, long-lasting, cheap and biodegradable - adobe just seems to be the perfect sustainable material for experimenting with new shapes! Inspired by her experience in India, designer Karin Auran Frankenstein spent some time helping locals make furniture based on this ancient construction method. Eventually the Swedish designer started her own line, taking the outdoors in by creating her own line of earthy objects. A collection of chairs, lamps, shelves and other products were born from her passion for exploring the possibilities of biodegradable, low-cost and local materials such as paper, sand, peat, straw, potato flour, chalk and even poo. Jump ahead for a look into her design process as well as some other curious objects.
