- Social Change: Celebrating exhibitors driving positive change for people and communities
- Circularity: Celebrating exhibitors advancing the circular economy, designing products for longevity and sustainability
- Sustainable Innovation: Recognising creative excellence in sustainable product design
We are proud to share this year’s winners:
Planet Conscious Award: Joss Stoddart
Joss Stoddart received the Planet Conscious award for its local and transparent approach to furniture-making. The company works exclusively with native hardwoods, either sourced from clients’ land or from local sawmills with full traceability.
Its on-site sawmill means every part of a tree is used, with offcuts heating the workshop to reduce wastage, and emissions from transport being reduced. Their approach is based on conscious craftsmanship, minimising unnecessary transport, packaging and outsourcing. One example being their service to transform a client’s felled tree into heirloom furniture, giving it a second life.
Social Change Award: ISHKAR
ISHKAR won the Social Change award for its work with artisans in conflict-affected countries, preserving traditional skills and creating new economic opportunities. Since 2016, it has partnered with makers in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Lebanon to produce jewellery, textiles, glassware and rugs.
ISHKAR’s aim is to act as a platform to preserve cultural heritage, keeping traditions alive and sustaining the next generation of master artisans in the country. By doing so they hope to change one-sided narratives, while creating economic opportunities where they are desperately needed.
Circularity Award: Granorte
Granorte was awarded the Circularity award for its innovative use of cork waste from Portugal’s wine industry. By turning by-products into flooring, coverings and design objects, the company demonstrates how materials can be reused in creative, design-driven ways that add long-term value.
Cork is harvested without cutting down trees and supports carbon capture, biodiversity and healthy ecosystems. Granorte combines this renewable material with clean energy and efficient processes to minimise waste, waste usage and emissions.
Sustainable Innovation Award: Harrison Spinks
Harrison Spinks was awarded the Sustainable Innovation prize for leading practices in mattress design through vertical integration and technical advances. On its Yorkshire farm, the company grows and processes hemp and flax, low-impact crops that provide durable fillings and absorb carbon.
Its spring-making division is central to its sustainable innovation commitment, developing fully recyclable glue-free springs and lightweight micro springs, permanently removing 75 tonnes of glue from production and reducing the need for foam. With zero waste to landfill, natural fire-retardant fabrics and upcycled cashmere fillings, Harrison Spinks demonstrates how innovation can reduce impact while maintaining luxury and comfort.
