Free seeds for every visitor to Grand Designs Live London


Grand Designs Live London has teamed up with VELUX to create Future Forest, a bespoke and interactive show feature. Visitors will be invited to take a packet of seeds in return for submitting a personal pledge to reduce their carbon footprint.

Located within the Design Shopping Arcade, Future Forest will straddle either side of the walkway displaying walls lined with packets of seeds. Over the duration of the show, the pledges will be collected and displayed on a visual indicator with supporting messages on screens updating visitors on the details and quantity of pledges collected.

Keith Riddle, Managing Director of VELUX comments: “Throughout the years, VELUX has been highly committed to reducing the environmental impact of the manufacture, use and disposal of our products. That’s why we use wood from sustainable forests and produce an innovative range of glazing with excellent energy
saving properties.

”We also strongly believe that the more natural light we have in our homes, the better for our health and the environment. We’re therefore delighted to partner the Future Forest at Grand Designs Live London, where we will be inviting people to come along and make their pledge to improve the environment.”

VELUX will show its commitment by making a donation to the Woodland Trust, the UK’s leading woodland conservation charity.
