A knife block doesn’t have to look like a tree trunk. Keys can hang without a hook. And tumble-driers made of wood simply look better! This is what the design collection side by side demonstrates.
Design products from workshops for disabled people. The project side by side is as surprising as its products: Young designers and workshops for disabled people have joined forces and developed a new collection. The idea: Combine useful everyday objects with modern design. The demand:
Quality, design and functionality must match. In order to achieve this, the materials are carefully matched and tested. side by side assures that only native wood is used for products.
Most of the production takes place by hand in workshops for people with disabilities. “side by side” stands not only for the cooperation of designers and people with disabilities, but also for the cooperation between the involved workshops.
Each workshop is responsible for the production of one or more products and thus demonstrates its technical potential and craftsmanship. Side by side – attractive, practical assistants for quality-conscious, demanding clients.
