The “Beech Design Award” organized by Pollmeier

“One Type of Wood – One Thousand Possibilities” is the motto of the “Beech Design Award”. This

international competition is for woodworkers, designers and interior designers. Anyone who designs or

makes products in which beech is used is eligible for entry. The chameleon in the logo represents the

huge variety of ways in which beech can be used. European bleech is available in great quantity due to a sustainable forestry management.

The competition offers entrants the opportunity of presenting their projects or products to a broad

public. In this way, the website www.european-beech.comaims to be a platform for the exchange of

creative options and ideas. The visitor not only has the chance to inform himself about design ideas

and the many uses to which beech can be put, but can also evaluate the submitted projects directly

online. The competition is organised and sponsored by Pollmeier Massivholz GmbH & Co. Kg (www.pollmeier.com), big world producer of beech timber. Pollmeier exports German beech to over 70 countries where the wood is put to a wide variety of uses.
