About Ikego – Make an impact

Make
a
difference

as designer, customer and business.

Together we can change the world of products.

Our world is drowning in garbage

We pollute the earth when we extract resources for our products.

And we pollute it again when we dispose of those products.

So let’s keep things in the

loop

for longer, together

We invite:

Customers

to buy sustainable products made from open multipurpose parts that support creative remixing.

Designers

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

Vendors

to manufacture and distribute sustainable circular products made from open multipurpose parts.

How?

Why do products become waste?

Most products today are made from parts that are

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

making these products hard to loop. It’s difficult to repair, upgrade, repurpose (remix) and recycle them.

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

Circular design fosters creative collaboration.

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

easy to produce,
quick to separate,
multipurpose,
open source

in order to enable circular practices such as repair, reuse, repurpose, upgrade & recycling.

**Multipurpose**? Yes, Ikego favors parts that work in different solutions just like **LEGO®** bricks. Enabling creativity to extend their lifespan giving freedom to their users.

Let’s create change together.

Meet the people behind the project

Hi, we are Max & Lars, we met in Berlin Germany and share this vision for our circular design future and decided to try and kickstart it.

We believe there are more designers and manufacturers out there who want to work in a sustainable, community and collaborative way. If we can find each other, we can make a difference. Let’s build it together. We are looking for co-builders. Reach out.
