step 5 of Vij5:
SHARE
We believe that transparency throughout the entire product chain is important and therefore provide a lot of insight into the choices we make. Our products are made in relatively small series by passionate craftsmen.
Production mainly takes place within the Netherlands, preferably even in our region. We regularly visit our makers and often have been working together for a long time. By looking over their shoulders and gaining insight into certain production processes, we often discover new possibilities.
"Working with great people we can rely on."
Arjan & Anieke
A designer can also be a manufacturer! Take, for example, Lotte de Raadt, which makes its own ceramics. Or Ontwerpduo, which supplies us with its Lloop lamps from its workshop in Eindhoven.
Our own studio and warehouse ultimately serve as the collection point for all components. Some items are further refined or assembled into finished products by us. In all cases, the products are personally inspected and packaged by us to ensure high quality.
's Supply Chain Transparency
For us, transparency in the production chain means more than just providing information about where something is produced. Our chain starts much earlier: with the designer of the product!
By being closely involved in the translation from design to finished product, we can communicate openly and transparently about all aspects of our collection and provide insight into the choices we make. In doing so, we aim to create a positive impact for all parties involved.
All 5 steps in our product chain are extensively explained in words and images for each product on the collection page.
