German Sustainability Award 2026
MOVISI wins one of Europe’s most recognized sustainability awards.
The German Sustainability Award is one of Europe’s leading recognitions for outstanding environmental and social impact. In 2026, MOVISI was honored in the category “Furniture, Household and Consumer Goods”, a sector known for high material consumption and complex supply chains.
This award confirms our long-standing design philosophy: lightweight, modular, circular, and made in Germany.
Why the jury selected MOVISI
The official jury highlights that companies in the furniture sector play an essential role in reducing emissions, material waste, and environmental damage. MOVISI was honored because our products demonstrate how sustainability and functional design can reinforce each other.
“MOVISI shows that lightweight construction, modularity, and durability can set new standards for sustainable furniture design.”
— German Sustainability Award Jury (2026, translated from German), nachhaltigkeitspreis.de
Our approach challenges the traditional furniture industry, which often relies on heavy materials, mixed composites, and short product lifecycles. MOVISI offers a scalable alternative focused on:
- Minimal material use through lightweight ARPRO® EPP
- High durability and long product lifecycles
- Tool-free assembly to encourage reuse and reconfiguration
- 100% recyclability thanks to mono-material construction
- Local production in Germany for short transport routes
Lightweight by design – strong by principle
MOVISI products such as BUILD and LINK are made from ARPRO® Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) — a high-performance, mono-material foam consisting of 95–98% air. This unique material provides exceptional durability while drastically reducing resource consumption.
Key sustainability benefits include:
- High impact resistance for long-term use
- Ultra-lightweight structure that reduces transport emissions
- Non-toxic, emission-free, and safe for indoor environments
- Fully recyclable with no material separation required
These characteristics make ARPRO® EPP one of the most promising materials for circular furniture systems. Learn more about our sustainable materials.
Modularity as a sustainability strategy
MOVISI furniture is based on a simple principle: one module, endless possibilities. Instead of replacing entire products, users can upgrade, downsize, repair, or rearrange their furniture at any time.
- Modules can be reconfigured without tools
- Single pieces can be replaced without discarding the whole system
- No screws, glues, or mixed materials
- Designed for long-term adaptability
Modularity is one of the qualities the jury explicitly highlights in its statement on MOVISI.
Made in Germany – transparency and quality
Producing exclusively in Germany allows us to maintain:
- Short transport distances
- High environmental and safety standards
- Fair labor conditions
- Consistent product quality
Sustainability is not a marketing claim — it’s built into our supply chain.
Our commitment moving forward
The German Sustainability Award motivates us to push our work even further. We continue to expand our circular design strategy with a strong focus on:
- Further material reduction
- Lower transport emissions
- Extending product lifespan
- True mono-material recyclability
- Transparent communication about sustainability impact
Our portfolio has since grown beyond EPP: our HUSH acoustic wall panels are made from MOVISI SONIC, a felt of 100% PET with at least 60% post-consumer content from recycled PET bottles – manufactured in Germany.
MOVISI aims to demonstrate that furniture can be light, modular, flexible, and circular — without compromising aesthetics or function.
