CRAFT COOPERATION CHANGE

Community Launched in August 2019, our Craft Cooperation Change collection included a series of handcrafted bowls and baskets from social entrepreneurs in Rwanda and Uganda.

The bowls and baskets were woven by hand by artisans of two women’s cooperatives in Rwanda and Uganda, who are using their businesses to create life-changing opportunities for people in their communities.

By introducing a selection of individually handmade items, we wanted to showcase traditional craftsmanship and support positive change for people and communities, such as new work opportunities, women’s empowerment, and health care.

The grid is an essential element of our visual identity. It represents the notion of the archive and is used to organise and display information ranging from the names of plants to fabric weights and different types of materials used in our collections. These nine squares symbolise the separate parts that together form our world, and they are also the areas where we strive to make a difference.
