We are winners of the 2022 Prize Designs for Modern Furniture Award!
We are so excited to announce that our Bamboo Soul Seat won the 2022 Prize Designs for Modern Furniture Award!
About the award program: “In 1949, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) organized the “Prize Designs for Modern Furniture” to encourage the best of contemporary design by exhibiting the most notable examples in the furniture industry thereby stimulating production by manufacturers for the mass-produced market.
Curated by Edgar Kaufmann, Jr., Prize Designs for Modern Furniture opened in 1950 at MoMA in New York. Seven decades later, Global Design News and The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design have relaunched this historic event.
The idea of the competition was to draw the attention of technicians and designers from all over the world to produce new and fresh ideas leading to the manufacture and wide distribution of a new type of furniture for today’s new homes.
The Prize Designs for Modern Furniture + Lighting by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum and Global Design News awarded, after official jurying, the latest cutting-edge furniture, lighting, textiles, and floor and wall covering from over 24 countries by some of the world’s most prominent names in design and by some of the world’s most prestigious furniture and lighting manufacturers.”
To say we are honored to be included as winners of this prestigious award is an understatement. We are over the moon! The official ceremony and exhibition will be held this fall in Athens, Greece, and our Bamboo Soul Seat will be included in the Museum’s permanent exhibit. We are humbled and so appreciative of this honor.
