Buildner is thrilled to announce the winners of its third annual Architect’s Chair Competition, celebrating innovative chair designs that blend architecture, craftsmanship, and material exploration. This year’s competition attracted outstanding global submissions, evaluated by a distinguished jury of architects and designers.
The 1st Prize & Student Award goes to Olivier Lacroix (Canada) in collaboration with William Deschamps for the Risus Side Chair, a refined wooden design inspired by ergonomic studies and crafted with sustainable Douglas fir. The 2nd Prize is awarded to Reggy St-Surin (Canada) for the Tom Chair, a bold, sculptural piece with playful organic shapes. The 3rd Prize goes to Niklas Fiedler (Denmark) for the Balance Chair, which subtly encourages better posture through controlled movement. The Sustainability Award is given to Nicklas Coombe Potter & Esra Heuermann (Germany) for the Bäuer:innenstuhl, a modern take on Alpine wooden chairs, emphasizing sustainable production.
