Meble Polska enjoyed a return to pre-pandemic levels with almost 14,000 visitors (including more than 550 from the UK) and 263 exhibitors from 14 countries.
The Poznan show’s Gold Medals were again awarded, with two new awards recognising innovation and the environment among those nominated for the medals.
The Grand Prix for the most innovative product was awarded to the Pola collection by The Beds. ‘The attractive design, the combination of natural construction and upholstery materials, as well as the precision of workmanship and functionality of this furniture were appreciated. Here we can detach the upholstered elements for cleaning or replacement, the advantage is also the silent closing and full extension of the drawers,’ says Ewa Ratajczak, chair of the competition jury.
The Eco prize went to Matroluxe Poland for the S-tube mattress. It is a mattress in a tube (seven layers as an option), which is vacuum-packaged to fit parcel lockers. The innovations include the construction of the mattress which consists of two independent parts, the base and the topper, connected by a zip, which can be replaced as needed. Matroluxe has used natural resources: the cover is made of linen, and the mattress can be recycled.
