Ikego is a collaborative circular design experiment. The core idea is to build products from open multipurpose parts – parts that can be creatively reused like LEGO® bricks – to create products that can be creatively transformed in infinite ways, enabling all imaginable sustainable circular practices. The system is collaborative: We invite designers to contribute new parts and sets – as part of their professional work or just for fun! The parts are open source and mostly easy to make. And we encourage manufacturers to make products using the Ikego System and to sell them on the market. Small local workshops can also make Ikego products and sell them to individual customers as a ”local make”. This is called distributed manufacturing. The Ikego approach works also great for education about design and sustainability. We run workshops ourselves and support others to do the same. Ikego is in open beta. Let’s create a collaborative circular design revolution, together!
Ikego won the Distributed Design Award 2024
