One of the leading producers of urban furniture, is at the forefront of sustainability. From its -designed factory The Plus amid lush forests鈥� the greenest production facility of its kind on earth鈥攖he family-run Norwegian company champions circularity in all stages of development and implementation.聽

Reflecting its commitment to innovation and efficiency, Vestre carefully considers every aspect of design 鈥� from the embodied and operational carbon of materials to the modularity of its products, ensuring each piece can be easily disassembled and repurposed at the end of its life.

Vestre believes in full transparency and openly shares its practices. 鈥淚 think one reason the term 鈥榮ustainability鈥� lost its impact in recent years is that everyone started using it without backing it up,鈥� says Kristoffer Vestre, the company鈥檚 chairman. 鈥淚n our industry, we see companies talking about EPDs (environmental product declarations) and sustainable materials on stage mainly because they鈥檙e sponsors, not because they鈥檝e necessarily done the work.鈥�

At Vestre, he and his team focus more on doing than saying. The true test of green architecture is how it performs years after completion. Opened in 2022, The Plus has been certified BREEAM Outstanding. The plant runs on 90% less external energy and with 55% lower emissions than a conventional facility.聽

鈥淲e鈥檝e published EPDs for all our products and launched the first bench made from fossil-free steel, cutting emissions by 70% compared to a bench made of conventional steel,鈥� Vestre explains. 鈥淚 feel that sustainability is more relevant than ever because now the solutions exist, and it鈥檚 finally becoming easier for companies to do the right thing.鈥�

Designed by award-winning Swedish designer Emma Olbers, the Tellus bench is produced solely out of this material.

鈥淔or me, it is important that form and design follow the planetary boundaries and aim to be part of the solution in the green transition,鈥� she says. 鈥淪o, it’s great to work with companies that also want to be at the forefront and have actually realised that we are sawing off the very branch we are sitting on. These are companies that set Science Based Targets (SBTi) in order to help attain the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement.鈥�

Like Olbers, Vestre positions itself at the leading-edge of the green shift by harnessing the latest technologies all while championing the transcendent age-old practices that have remained relevant throughout time.

The Tellus bench will be on view in the WANTED area and Vestre is the sponsor of the Oasis lounge at this year鈥檚 edition of ICFF. Deftly designed by (Rodolfo Agrella Design Studio), the talks venue will offer speakers and their audiences with a more relaxed and intimate platform to delve into topics addressing sustainability and conscious design. 鈥淭he overall look, feel, and layout echoes ICFF鈥檚 holistic, human-centered approach鈥攃reating spaces that encourage organic interaction and engaging dialogues,鈥� Agrella says.
