Further to the success of the first edition, Maisons du Monde and its partners are launching the second edition of the Sustainable Creation Awards from 2 November 2017 to 31 January 2018!

In partnership with the eco-organisations Eco-mobilier and Eco-TLC, the association FSC France, the sustainability consulting firm EVEA, and with the participation of ADEME and the Foundation for Nature and Mankind, the aim of these Awards is to promote the young talents of the future, initiate a change in behaviour by raising awareness on eco-design, place sustainable management of wood at the centre of the product offering and identify sustainable products in order to sell them.

Students or young graduates from French design and fashion schools are invited to study the eco-design of furniture and decorative products (all materials, including textiles), including the product life cycle steps (choice of materials, transport, end of life) and innovate to reduce the environmental impacts without compromising on style.
