Alpine furnishings ... embrace tradition, so that they can prove their worth in the future.


Explanation:
Alpine furnishings induce a sense of well-being and embrace tradition, so that they can prove their worth in the future.
I would translate "sich beweisen" as "prove (their) worth" in this case.
I'm confident that this is a more accurate translation than the other suggestions.
