It started with a vision to encourage a slower way in our busy design world. Enabling the possibility to think twice and find alternative solutions. To highlight sustainability from a human perspective and not only the environmental aspect.
A collaboration with a Swedish prison showed us the possibilities. Patience and adjustments on our design process made big difference for the persons involved and reward was magic. This was the start of SKRYTA – handmade lamps loaded with love and good stories.
Today we have a collaboration with Göteborgs Kyrkliga Stadsmission. People far from labour market get a chance to be part of our production in a slow and safe environment.
It started with one lamp, growing organically. Now we have lamps proudly hanging in beautiful design interiors all over Europe. Each one with its own ID number.
Why?
We want to be part of the change for a beautiful and sustainable future
What?
We offer handmade lamps loaded with love and good stories. Both series and limited editions.
How?
With a ”slow design” approach, we aim for both environmental and social sustainability.
