    Finnish interior designer Tapio Anttila has won the international ecology-driven design award for his unique Tuohi product series.

    The product family comprises wall elements, trays and a light fitting made of birch bark. Mixing tradition and contemporary technology, the birch bark objects are produced ecologically and are fully recyclable. The series is manufactured by Showroom Finland.

    The Green GOOD DESIGN award is designed to emphasise the importance of sustainable design and to raise consumer awareness of companies that adhere to the principles of sustainable design in their operations.

    Tapio Anttila will take part in the HIRAMEKI Design X Finland exhibition in Tokyo, 29 October to 7 November 2010.
