By Lora O’Brien

Veganism is on the rise, but it’s not just about what’s on our plate or the clothes that we wear, it’s about what’s in our homes, too! People are waking up to the reality that you simply don’t need to harm animals to have a stylish home, with more people than ever before looking for sustainable and cruelty-free ways to decorate. Vegan fabrics, whether they’re natural or synthetic, are kinder to animals and a more environmentally-friendly option.

The awards were created to celebrate revolutionary products which highlight just how far we’ve come with removing animal products from our lives, in every aspect. Whether you’re looking for a vegan-friendly sofa, bedding set or some simple home furnishings, check out the winning brands below who are leading by example!

BEST VEGAN INNOVATION EVENT

Somerset House’s Mushrooms: The Art, Design and Future of Fungi

Why did the mushroom get invited to all of the parties? Because he’s a fun-gi! Okay, I couldn’t resist sharing my all-time favourite mushroom joke, but other than going great with avocado on toast, mushrooms are getting some serious recognition in the vegan world right now!

With the aim to reimagine our approach to the planet, 40 leading creatives came together to explore eco-friendly designs utilising mushrooms in exciting new ways.
