About Ikego – Make an impact

Who we are

We are Ikego. A studio for circular design based in Berlin, Germany.

We believe that collaboration is the key to circular design. Let’s work together on a “multipurpose part design” revolution!

Start with a simple message to us. Say hi!

We are also a global community of designers, working together to reduce product waste by reusing each others parts, building remixable products.

What we do

1.

We help you to design products more sustainable with multipurpose parts. Check our

Open our → Quick Start Guide

2.

We build a catalog of open building components that anyone can use. The parts are universal and easy to make.

3.

We collect models build from universal parts you can order or build yourself.

Why we do it

To make
a
difference

So let’s keep things in the

for longer

We invite:

Customers

to buy sustainable products made from open multipurpose parts. 

Designers

to invent sustainable products made from open multipurpose parts and add remix options for existing solutions.

Vendors

to produce and distribute circular products made from multipurpose parts.

Most products today are made from parts that are

  • hard to produce,
  • difficult to separate,
  • single-purpose &
  • closed source,

making these products unsustainable because they are hard to repair, upgrade, remix and recycle.

16 unique parts, some of which are inseparable, if one breaks, all become garbage

We want to redesign everything to be made from parts that are

  • easy to make,
  • quick to separate,
  • multipurpose &
  • open source,

in order to enable sustainable practices such as repair, remix, upgrade and recycling.

Multipurpose? Yes, Ikego favours parts that can be used in different solutions, enabling creative remixing of everyday products.
