Forum +1 Award recognises the most interesting innovation at the Stockholm Furniture Fair.

The Forum +1 Award is presented by the architecture and design magazine Forum, and recognises the most interesting innovation at the Stockholm Furniture Fair. The rules of the +1 Award are simple: from all the exhibits displayed at the fair, last year's winner selects the recipient of this year's Forum +1 Award. The winner will choose next year's winner at the Stockholm Furniture Fair, which means that no designer can receive the award two years in a row.

The judge 2010 was Swedish furniture designer Alexander Lervik, who received the award in 2009. Alaxander awarded Osko + Deichmanns chair Straw with the Forum +1 Award.

The jury's verdict
"A simple and stylish chair that has been given its unique character by the" failed" bend, the kink has become the identity of the beautiful shape."
