• Krill Design received the Most Innovative Fruit-to-Furniture Home Design award for its one-of-a-kind I AM a Stool made from orange and lemon peels.

“By using plant-based materials, from lemon peels and coconut husks to organic cotton and thistle pulp, the winners of PETA’s Vegan Homeware Awards are proving that no one needs to exploit animals to create beautiful, durable home goods,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. “In 2024, it’s easy to make an entire household vegan—and PETA is honoring the innovative designers and brands that are helping kind consumers keep their homes cruelty-free.”

PETA entities have released scores of investigations exposing cruelty to animals exploited for their skin. Videos have revealed that workers hit, kick, and mutilate gentle sheep for their wool; leave sensitive goats with bloody, gaping wounds at mohair and cashmere operations; burn, electroshock, beat, and slaughter cows for leather; yank out the feathers of ducks and geese by the fistful for down; and imprison minks and other animals in filthy wire cages on fur factory farms.

Winners of the Vegan Homeware Awards will receive a personalized framed certificate from PETA and a year’s worth of bragging rights.

PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to abuse in any way”—points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kits for people who need a lesson in kindness. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow the group on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
