Swedish multidisciplinary designer Emma Olbers designs the new TELLUS bench for Vestre. It is the first furniture design that uses 100% fossil-free steel by SSAB. The designer and Norwegian furniture brand are supporters and advocates of sustainability within the design industry and this is a large milestone of a collaboration. From this, the duo hopes to inspire more similar projects to follow.
Olbers notes ”For me, it is important that form and design follow the planetary boundaries and aim to be part of the solution in the green transition. Therefore, it´s great to collaborate with companies that also want to be at the forefront and have actually realized that we are sawing off the very branch we are sitting on. These are companies that set Science Based Targets (SBTi) to contribute in meeting the Paris Agreement.”
