Vert - the red oak route to a cooler, greener city

For London Design Festival 2024, The American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) presents Vert, a sustainable engineered timber structure constructed to cool cities and increase biodiversity in urban environments.

Designed by leading industrial design practice Diez Office in collaboration with urban greening specialists OMCºC, Vert showcases the potential of two versatile wood products: red oak glulam and thermally modified timber (TMT), while providing a calm and shaded space for visitors to enjoy.

Vert will be on show at Chelsea College of Arts throughout London Design Festival, 14–22 September, and will remain on site until 14 October.
