Elle Decoration, Sweden, says this about the justification to give the award Young Designer of the Year to Emma Olbers: “This year’s Young Designer of the Year is hardly a newcomer to the design world. She has worked extensively as a designer and made many products, but for a long time remained something of an unknown. In recent years however, she has stepped into the spotlight with beautiful products characterized by a strong sense of sustainability. With an unerring sense of quality Emma Olbers shows the way towards sustainable furniture manufacturing.”
