Summary | Navigation →
Ikego is a circular design platform experiment. The core idea is to build products from multipurpose parts – parts that can be creatively reused like LEGO® bricks – to create products that can be creatively transformed in infinite ways. The system is collaborative: We invite designers to use it and contribute new parts and products – as part of their professional work or just for fun! The parts are open source and often very 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 “decentralised manufacturing”. It’s sustainable, very sustainable! The Ikego approach works also great for education about design and sustainability. We run workshops ourselves and support others to do the same. Let’s invent a circular design revolution, together!
