Stala is proud to announce that Stala ONE, the climate-reduced stainless steel sinks, has been honored with a prestigious 2025 Green Good Design® Award. The recognition, presented by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies, highlights outstanding products and projects that lead the way in sustainable innovation.
The Green Good Design® Award is one of the world’s most respected sustainability-focused design recognitions. It celebrates visionary companies and designers whose work advances the principles of sustainability and environmental responsibility through innovation, form, and function.
Stala ONE, including its range of accessories, was selected for its significantly climate-reduced profile. The series embodies modern Nordic design, long-lasting performance, and a lower environmental footprint. Key sustainability highlights include:
Stala’s patented StalaHybrid mounting method is designed to simplify and optimize installation. This innovative approach supports top, under, or flush mounting, reducing installation time by an impressive 40% and eliminating the need for cabinet notching. This not only saves time but also reduces VOC emissions and improves ergonomic handling for installers.
For worktop manufacturers, the StalaFix method offers a mono-material design that streamlines the assembly process, delivering a 60% faster assembly time compared to traditional methods.
With Stala ONE, Stala redefines what responsible kitchen design can look and feel like in today’s and tomorrow’s kitchens.
“We’re honored to receive the Green Good Design Award,” says Pasi Härkönen, CEO of Stala. “It affirms our mission to lead the kitchen industry toward a more sustainable future, without compromising on quality or aesthetics.”
The award solidifies Stala ONE’s position at the forefront of green innovation in the home environment and reinforces Stala’s long-standing commitment to responsible design and production.
This Green Good Design Award marks the second major international recognition for Stala ONE in 2025. Earlier this year, the product family was also honored with a Red Dot Award: Product Design 2025, affirming its excellence in both innovation and sustainability.

GOOD DESIGN™ was founded in Chicago in 1950 by Eero Saarinen, Charles and Ray Eames, and Edgar Kaufmann, Jr. to promote and foster a greater public understanding and acceptance for Modern Design.
In 2025, seven decades later, this new edition of GOOD DESIGN™ aims to bring a parallel public appreciation and awareness for an equally revolutionary design approach-a new design thinking led by a current generation of visionary architects, designers, urban planners, corporations, governments, individuals, and private and public institutions for a design and a public environment based upon the ideals of energy conservation; the reduction of toxic waste and greenhouse gases; the diminishing dependence on fossil fuels; and a sensitivity for waste, pollution, and the depletion of the world’s energy resources. This new design approach centers on the idea of repairing our worldwide environments with sustainability and for total ecological restoration.
