Sustainability and Nordic design is the student’s winning formula, presented by the Lund University at Greenhouse during Stockholm Furniture Fair 2017.

The Lund University of Industrial Design opens its doors at the Greenhouse – Stockholm Furniture Fair reflecting on planet consumption and much needed human behavioral changes, within a small, domestic scale. As a result, 24 projects try to deal with the issue, in total Nordic style.

EWA, by Anton Nordenson is a first sustainable alternative to water supply: using the principle of condensation it harvests humidity from the air around us, where temperatures underground cool the surface of the container, and a vertical wind turbine drives a fan that maximizes its efficiency. Sebastian Wicksell conceives a new and minimal generation of air purifiers, to reduce intoxication from CO2. Dunaliella is a bioreactor for the work environment that helps lowering indoor CO2 concentrations through photosynthesizing algae in the glass tank.

Thinking of the packaging needed in the art and design industries, where moving pieces around the world requires excessive amounts of solid waste, Jingying Ma suggests a box for ceramics, where two wooden frames hold a net of elastic wire that suspends the piece within the box, in order to avoid paper, plastic and bubble wrap. With her Time Conflicts series, Judith Leijdekkers replaces traditional brushes with waste materials of existing, local processes such as horse hair, deer bone, pheasant feathers and nutshells.

Reuse and do-it-yourself come together in the kit series by Jin Liu, Stina Henriksson, Xiaoru Chen, Evastina Pauly and Adrian Petersen. They offer an easy way to reuse candle leftovers (Sweden consumes more than 20,000 tonnes of candles per year), prepare your own paper, garden difficult plans such as nettle, filter ink from leaves and plants and sew comfortable shoes in parts that are easy to fix and repair. David Bursell proposes natural materials to transform the fishing industry and reduce plastics and metals in the sea: his Svart Guld is a wooden lobster trap that, if lost, opens up automatically after a while, letting shellfish free again.
