Transparency of the production chain

step 5 of Vij5:
SHARE

We believe that openness and transparency throughout the product chain is important and therefore give a lot of insight into the choices we make. Our products are made in relatively small series by passionate craftsmen.

The production mainly takes place in the Netherlands, preferably in our region. We regularly visit our makers and often work together for a long time. By looking over their shoulders and gaining insight into certain production processes, we often discover new possibilities.

"Collaborating with great people we can rely on."

A designer can also be a producer! Take for example Lotte de Raadt, who makes her own ceramics. Or APTUM Lighting, who deliver their Lloop lamps to us from their workshop in Eindhoven.

Our own studio and warehouse is ultimately the collection point for all parts. Some items are further finished or assembled with us into an end product. In all cases the products are personally checked and packed by us to ensure good quality.

For us, transparency in the production chain does not just mean providing information about where something has been produced. Our chain starts much earlier: with the designer of the product!

By being closely involved in the translation of a design into a finished product, we can communicate openly and transparently about all facets of our collection and provide insight into the choices we make. In doing so, we try to create a positive impact for all parties involved.

All 5 steps in our product chain are explained in word and image for each product on the collection page.
