Designers around the world are being called to action to create an iconic “eco-chair,” in the second One Good Chair design competition, sponsored by World Market Center Las Vegas, Las Vegas Market’s Living Green Pavilion and the Sustainable Furnishings Council. While innovation and form are imperative in the judging criteria, the ultimate goal of the “eco-chair” competition is to solicit designs that embody and enhance a particular place.
This year’s theme, “Fit Right Here,” emphasizes the connection between a person fitting comfortably in a chair as well as the chair fitting appropriately in its environment and the eco-system. Open to any designer, architect, student or interested person - entries are now being accepted, but registration closes May 30th so spread the word and start sketching!
Chaired by architect and author Lance Hosey, the One Good Chair jury includes ecofabulous’ own, Zem Joaquin, and Kira Gould of William McDonough + Partners along with many others. Stay tuned for the full competition coverage here at ecofabulous!
