ABOUT US
Leading the way in circular design since 2018, THE HOME OF SUSTAINABLE THINGS partners with designers to turn pioneering material research into thoughtfully curated product collections. Our focus lies in development and retail of circular designs emphasising on artisanal skills, sustainability and innovation.
In 2018, we introduced a small selection of designs, representing seven designers, to a market that had minimal prior exposure to circular design, fostering awareness. Today, THE HOME OF SUSTAINABLE THINGS proudly represents over forty pioneers in sustainable design, offering the most comprehensive collection of circular designs available.
Beyond its market impact, THE HOME OF SUSTAINABLE THINGS serves as a continual source of inspiration for designers, fostering the development of processes and materials. Its role as a design platform promotes collaborations that yield enhanced outcomes in the upcycling of industries' by-products, contributing significantly to our shared journey toward a more sustainable way of living.
