"Buildner is pleased to announce the results of its Architect's Chair Competition Edition 4, an annual international competition that invites architects and designers worldwide to submit designs for a signature chair. Following in the footsteps of iconic figures like Charles and Ray Eames, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, and Arne Jacobsen, participants are tasked with creating custom chairs that reflect their unique design philosophies and visions."
"Buildner's other ongoing competitions include The Unbuilt Award 2026, celebrating visionary unbuilt projects across three scales, with a 100,000 EUR prize fund; The Architect's Stair Edition #3, a conceptual exploration of one of architecture's most symbolic elements; and The Next House: USA, which invites innovative ideas for a new American suburban prototype: a home that is compact yet generous, adaptable yet grounded, replicable yet sensitive to place."
Buildner announced the results of Architect's Chair Competition Edition 4 and launched Edition 5 to invite new proposals from architects and designers for signature chairs. The competition connects contemporary entrants with the legacy of designers such as Charles and Ray Eames, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, and Arne Jacobsen. Buildner published two books highlighting key ideas and outstanding projects from past editions. Chair design is presented as an interdisciplinary practice that merges architecture, design, and art, enabling exploration of aesthetics, materials, and technology. Ongoing competitions include The Unbuilt Award 2026, Architect's Stair Edition #3, and The Next House: USA. The First Prize winner is the Eero Chair, a minimal wooden design emphasizing continuity, carved junctions, and softened geometries to create fluid relationships among legs, armrests, seat, and back.
