introduction
tuscany: art, culture and nature.
tuscan furniture: quality, innovation, design and more. in fact, since the
beginning of the year 2002, the new casa toscana / green home quality label
is going to award the companies involved in environmental sustainability
projects and is going to be a clear indication of a state-of-the-art
production.
art.1 purpose

valorizing tuscan furniture production and renewing its tradition,

university of florence, hereby announces the second edition of an
international contest centering on design of furnishing elements with
accentuated characteristics of environmental sustainability. thus, priority
value will be assigned to ecological awareness extended to all phases of
product life: from industrial purchasing [use of renewable and recycled
materials: in general, 'clean' materials], to production [reduction of
waste and scrap, adoption of the cleanest possible techniques and
processes, etc.], to use [attention to consumer health, increased product
life, etc.], to end-of-life and disposal [dismantling, recycling,
single-material construction, composting, etc.].
