Embracing Circular Design in the Furniture Industry

Welcome to an inspirational and educational talk hosted by TMF, The Swedish Federation of Wood and Furniture Industry.

The starting point of the conversation is a presentation about the reuse of The Yellow Thread installation by FÄRG & BLANCHE. The Yellow Thread is a design concept created last year for the Swedish Presidency of the European Union in Brussels - now presented in Sweden for the very first time, at the Stockholm Furniture Fair. The installation has evolved from its original form to a bar and seating area, and a spacious stage hosting the fair’s talks program. A circulated installation. with furniture that are all designed and produced with a circular ambition.

The installation is the perfect backdrop for a discussion about how the Swedish furniture industry lives, thrives, and embodies circularity as the central vision for the industry:  from linear manufacturing to circular business models.

Guests on stage include Cecilia Sebesta, CEO at Edsbynand , Benny Hermansson, CEO at Gemla and Thibault d´Ortoli, Nordic Sustainability Manager at Tarkett - that will share some of their best practices within circularity.
