It's 11.00 am and we are both enjoying our coffees. To set the mood for today we play a song that Johanna loves: Metaverse by Marco Kleebauer. She is highlighting her favourite part: "Where is the singularity when you need it? Why are we still alone?" Johanna explains that we live in a world with so many options and plurality that it is almost impossible not to get distracted. As a child, she used to be able to read for hours, reading being an activity that separated her from the hectic outside world. What does your day look like - do you have a routine or do you prefer a more spontaneous day ..read more

Life feels different to us in a post pandemic world. Do you feel the same way? You’re not alone in that feeling. Shut down airports and factories, material shortages and workers who need to stay at home: it showed us how fragile our supply chains are. We also realised that beauty can be found in a slower approach to life through lockdown.  Living through these exceptional times we were all able to experience the fragility of every-day life: it made us realise what is important in life. Plenty of us are reconsidering what we deem necessities and which items, products and even behaviours we ..read more

As an antidote to the hyper-consumerism that's promoted during this time of the year around Black Friday & Cyber Monday, we decided to turn Black Friday green again! And we mean this quite literally! :) Instead of offering a discount to our conscious customers, we decided to plant ten trees for every order that is placed from November 26th to December 1st. We chose a project in Brazil to help regrow the rainforest that has been ravished by fires over the past 12 months. For the realisation on this project, we are working with the non-profit organisation Weforest. Why ..read more
