This bench and stool are made of 100% wood offcuts from woodworkers in Leipzig, Germany. Cut into stripes and glued back together the offcuts now create a visual stunning surface which is unique to every bench/stool. Furthermore, the sides are cut on a slight angle (86 degree) which makes sitting on the bench a new ergonomic experience, while still being very comfortable. The angle also contributes to an interesting aesthetic appearance.

Potholes are not only holes in a street, they are a by-product of a society, depiticing the wear and tear of everyday life, which makes them an interesting foundation for a product. By filling the potholes with gypsum, diefabrik conserves their unique forms. This cast serves then as a tool for producing lamp shades in
thermoform technique. The pothole lamps are produced in small batches and can be tracked back to their origin thanks to their names, which are the addresses of the pothole.

Thanks to the innovative stainless steel legs, the table can be disassembled, flatpacked and shipped worldwide.

It is easily forgotten that also digital media, especially the internet, are using up a lot of energy. The Flickrl rug represents exactly this unconscious waste of energy demonstrated by the foto platform Flickr. On average 3500 pictures per minute are uploaded, i.e. 1 million pictures every 5 hours. But what happens to them? The Flickrl rug reuses 2000 pictures of February 2, 2011, digital waste as we call it which we printed on woolen felt and wove into an visually appealing surface.

xaver is a flatpack chair. but xaver doesn't want to be only a flatpack chair. like many other flatpack chair he is built out of tough 19mm plywood, undistructable, but unlike other chairs he's got 7 percent of recycled chipboard in his backrest. so xaver isn't just a flatpack chair, he's an especially beautiful way of getting rid of these cheap 90's kitchen cupboards...

The shelf114/115 storage system is now officially back in production!

Every shelf is hand built from 100 % recyclable cardboard. The shelving system allows you to create a functional still aesthetically stunning storage unit, all made possible by interlocking shapes and two different sizes of building blocks. This product is sold as single blocks and in sets of 3 or 7. A fixture for wall mounting is also available.

actually it's all said with the name "doppelkopfstreichholz"(doubleheadedmatch).
but really it is a proposition to give a truly ancient product a modern adaption. merely by adding a second head at the other end of every match, a new kind of aesthetic and usefulness is created. all the thousands of matches which become
useless after a few seconds of burning, leaving the majority of the wooden stem untouched could now be used a second time, giving them a second chance.

this little gadget is quite adorable: it's a classical "upcylcing" product. discarded, functional record player loudspeakers are given a second chance as portable "mp3 player" speakers tombox is delivered with an AUX (3.5mm) cable, suitable for laptops, mp3 players, walkmen and the lot, and a charging device. generally only high quality speakers are used so you can rest assured that the sound quality will be brilliant.
