In an Absolut World, everyone can design their own furniture and have it made; Everyone can submit their designs and have them published on this site. Just make up a 1/6 scale design and submit it as a letter or A4 size PDF, along with a jpg picture of the assembled model and a description of the project, and we will add it to the collection. Send to absolut (at) treehugger.com.

Absolut and TreeHugger reserve the right to be picky and not publish a design if we don't feel like it. We also have short legal statement here and a big long legal agreement below the fold that you have to read before you submit. There will be a test.

"I acknowledge that I am over 21 years of age and that I understand and agree that any "In an Absolut World" materials submitted by me to Treehugger and/or Absolut vodka may be used and reproduced for advertising and promotional purposes. I further have read, understand and agree to the Terms and Conditions of Use outlined herein."
