Woodio’s signature 100% waterproof solid wood composite material and cast moulding technology does not require high amounts of water and energy, or high-temperature ovens to make the final product. This is why our carbon footprint is a lot lower than bathroom materials traditionally have. The Global Warming Potential (GWP) value is 80% less when compared to a similar sized ceramic basin. The low weight of the final product and durability also reduce emissions and losses in logistics.

Hanna Länsivuori, Chief Customer experience, Communication and Marketing Officer at Fennia, underlines the importance of design as a success factor “According to researches, design has a strong impact on the success and competitiveness of enterprises. We have awarded and supported Finnish strategic design for 30 years now through the Fennia Prize competition. The renewed Fennia brand is also constructed with the means of design. We wish to promote and support designing Finnish companies and people’s quality of life in a sustainable and progressive way.”

The members of the competition jury of 2020 were Hanna Länsivuori from Fennia, Guy Julier from Aalto Univer­sity, Anna Lauttamus-Kauppila from the Finnish Patent and Registration Office, Mikko Koivisto from Helen, Antti Mäkelä from design agency Aivan, Maria Sipilä from Sipilä Consulting Oy, Riikka Iivanainen from Aalto University, and Petteri Kolinen from Design Forum Finland as the chairperson of the jury.
