Vyn wins Southern Swedish sustainability Award – Gärsnäs

Vyn wins!

The southern Swedish supergroup of restaurateur Daniel Berlin, Gärsnäs, furniture designer Anton Björsing and ceramist Monica Persdotter has won the award Årets Formbärare (Design Bearer of the Year) for their collaboration in creating Michelin-star Vyn near Simrishamn.

The jury’s citation: “locally produced, timeless and high-quality design that will last generations.”

Since opening, the restaurant has become a renowned destination with a focus on locally produced food culture. Anton Björsing works in Landskrona, Monica Persdotter in Rörum. Gärsnäs is not far from the restaurant, so the Vyn furniture is absolutely a local product, at an international level.

The annual award is announced each year by local associations on the anniversary of Svensk Form’s foundation, 6 October, to promote a sustainable society through good design. This year’s winners bear the title until next year’s winners take over.
