during this year’s ldf, skandium will transform its four-storey townhouse in south kensington into a scandinavian eco home, populated exclusively with scandinavian design products with a level of ethical commitment. skandium has invited montana and skagerak to implement the transformation.

an ever-increasing number of people are looking to minimize environmental impact when decorating their homes, turning to sustainable technology, and interior and architectural innovation. thus, skandium aims not just to curate a collection of responsible design, but to demonstrate that it can be a vibrant, beautiful, and liveable solution to interior design.

to that effect, montana has enlisted architect helena laursen, recipient of the frame award milan, to design two of the floors in their signature bold, captivating colour palette. whilst skagerak will transform the basement and garden using their collection of fsc-certified furniture designed by a contingent of 30 international designers and collaborators.

all floors will be finished with furniture, lighting and accessories from skandium’s catalogue, and each piece accompanied with their individual story of sustainability.

on thursday 20th september, joakim lassen, ceo of montana, and jesper panduro, ceo of skagerak, along with a panel of experts will be discussing sustainability and responsibility in furniture design, and enlightening guests on the scandinavian ethos of sustainable living.
