How It Works
Upcycled furniture, hand-crafted from materials salvaged in Berlin.
HOW IT WORKS
Inspired by the beauty of imperfection, DIY culture and the Bauhaus movement, DANKOMADE combines Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, Lagom and hygge ideals with sustainabLE DESIGN and minimalism to create unique industrial furniture, spaces and decor.
Waste, material costs and other fabrication expenses are minimalized by gathering and upcycling discarded industrial materials into durable, robust items.
Hand tools, structural integrity and traditional construction methods are prioritized over powertools, weak prefab composites, cutting corners or disposable consumerism.
Signs of use are embraced: flaws, quirks, bubbles, irregularities, patina, rust, worn corners and edges are celebrated within wood, steel, brass, copper, gold, concrete, leather, bone, linen, glass and stone.
Like us, no two pieces are the same: each carries a unique history and ages with dignity, becoming more interesting as it earns new scars, wrinkles, character and experience.
