Meaningful design gifts for Christmas: GOODGOODs brings sustainable design products from sheltered workshops to the market at fair prices. The initiative connects people with disabilities and their specific skills with the design expertise of professional designers. Through dialogue with the workshop employees, design products are created that are precisely tailored to their abilities and technical capabilities. This fruitful collaboration results in simple and practical items for everyday life and the home. And at the same time, beautiful and meaningful gifts!
The outstanding quality of the products stems from the technology and craftsmanship employed in the workshops. Skills and sensitivities, sometimes specifically resulting from the disability, are highlighted as strengths in the manufacturing process. By pooling all these potentials, products are created that would otherwise be impossible to produce on the local labor market.
The collaboration with the designers and the resulting demand for these products boosts the self-esteem of the people in the workshops, while at the same time the designers guarantee a high level of craftsmanship through their presence and control during production.
The added value is manifold: Consumers can buy products that, in addition to being produced in an environmentally sustainable way, also offer social benefits. The people in the workshops can do meaningful work, are needed, and receive recognition for their work.
The GOODGOODs brand has become a seal of quality for products from socially sustainable businesses. So far, 18 workshops and 16 design studios from Vienna are involved – new products and collaborations are planned.
Those who can't decide can also purchase a GOODSCHEIN (gift certificate) and give it as a gift!
