Our sustainability work

We strengthen and create sustainable initiatives

Sustainable initiatives at Stockholm Furniture Fair

For the 2024 edition, we introduced guided tours led by designer and sustainability strategist Emma Olbers, whose mission was to highlight innovative initiatives around resource saving and long-term sustainability, both our exhibitors’ and our own. In 2024, the Guest of Honor Formafantasma called for ecological engagement at system level. Together with the Architects of the Earth, we presented the 300-square-meter exhibition Farming Architects, which featured several projects and a large library of materials.
