Now in its second year, designjunction EDIT is a must-see during the Milan Design Week. The show is held in the Palazzo Morando at the heart of the city, and features work from designers and companies from around the globe. It also features a special Green Room directed by UK Trade & Investment, which sets out to investigate eco-sustainable design. Many eco-efficient LED lamps, natural & recycled materials, and solid, long-lasting products are to be found throughout the exhibition. Read on for some of our favorite green designs from this year’s show!

Dent 200 is a whopping two-meter-wide chandelier in the shape of a truncated icosahedron, created in PVC and developed by designer Chak Dent for Innermost design.

The white version of Dent 200, presented at EDIT 2014, uses LED lighting and is programmable. To ease and lower the impact on transport, the ninety panels of the chandelier are packed flat when shipped.

Design by Nico, set up in 2011 by Nicolette de Waart, is a bespoke furniture and furnishings brand. This year, they’re exhibiting the Leaf Seat set of stools, which are all handmade by British craftsmen in the UK, using sustainable materials such as wool and solid oak.
