Values + Quality

Manuela - visual

Supportive We create opportunities for designers and makers who are working on new approaches to product development and commercialization.

Tools, resources, events and advocacy that can help establish the distributed design field as a viable market for designers and makers.

Ecosystemic We facilitate an online and offline ecosystem of tools and methods to connect designers, makers and manufacturers with new emerging markets.

We're connecting with existing platforms, practitioners and organisations that are practicing dd to articulate this growing field and create space for it in cultural discourse.

Open We’re into making design accessible by championing culture that benefits makers, designers and consumers to advance the design discipline as a force for change.

We believe in documentation and open-source not only as a design practice, but a community building tool: we collaborate, co-create and understand transparency in supply-chains is important.

Regenerative We’re rethinking traditional production and consumption practices by considering design as a system. From the fabrication to distribution, we’re exploring low kilometre supply chains, open source distribution and thinking carefully about the materials we choose.

We want to make good quality products that last for people who will love them for generations, and once their product life is over the materials can find use somewhere else and not go to waste.
