Hi,
we are Ikego, a collaborative circular design project from Berlin.
Work with us
Design circular with multipurpose parts, build a local community or manufacture and sell sustainable Ikego products.
How to join
Read our cobuilding-guide and then just say hello.
We aim to build a global open community working together to reduce product waste by reusing and elevating each other’s work.
What we do
We develop a catalog of open multipurpose parts that anyone can make and use.
Find open parts
We grow and share a collection of models and products that can be made with these parts.
Model catalog
And we invite designers from around the world to join us in creating designs from multipurpose parts.
Circular Design Guide
Why we do it?
To make
a
difference!
Because
our world is drowning in garbage.
So let’s keep things in the
loop
together!
Here is how it works: Let’s start with asking
Why do products become waste?
Most products today are made from individual parts that are
- single-use,
- hard to make,
- and intransparent.
This makes these products hard to repair, hard to remix and hard to recycle. They go in the bin, to be burned and lost…
Let’s create circular remixability!
Ikego wants to redesign everything from parts that are
- multi-use (and multipurpose),
- easy to make,
- and open source.
This enables sustainable practices such as repair, remix, recycling and more.
Together!
It only works with collaboration. We invite:
Designers
to help us grow the world of sustainable products made from multipurpose parts.
