Livable

Livable An inspiring collective working on close collaborations with creatives, communities and industries. Our idea is simple.

We screen an environment for interesting materials. By collaborating with local people, we give them the opportunity to use their traditional skills to make appealing products. At the same time we create environmental awareness by transforming local materials into Highly crafted design objects. Our goal is to create jobs for the community on a sustainable level and support them in their livelihood. All of this with great care for mother nature.
