Brian and Pepijn’s cabinet design is made out of 100% biobased materials, open source, and everyone is welcome to design their own version of the cabinet. Their mission is to redefine the concept of furniture, with timeless and regenerative solutions that outlive not only our customers but also their legacy. What is lacking in their project as well is upscaling. Brian and Pepijn wish for collaborations with other brands, labels, and designers to make the product more widely available and easy to order. For this, they need marketing experience and ways to get their product on the map. Ultimately their hope is not to sell as many products as possible, but rather that everyone around the world is able to use the open-source biobased design philosophy to create products locally with nature-based solutions.

About the creative talent

Brian Kersbergen (studio briankersbergen) and Pepijn Duijvestein (New Economy) challenge each other in the purpose of creating things.

“As a designer, you have a moral obligation to question every product you create. Do we need it? What is the urgency? Is there a future for this product? How can I work with the right materials? What is the impact of creating products, and how can they create a positive impact on our world at every step of their creation?”

Our mission is to redefine the concept of furniture, offering timeless and regenerative solutions that outlive not only our customers but also create a positive legacy. We believe that furniture is not just functional; it should embody healthy living and enduring design. In this way, furniture can be a catalyst for meaningful conversations. The question is, what will be the positive impact of it?
