is a piece of cake for us
What is upcycling?
Upcycling is an ethical and environmental
It is not just a trend or a modern word, but a real necessity, a necessary part of a lifestyle that will protect the planet and its resources for future generations. In short, it is about creating new valuable products from excess or waste materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. Upcycling increases the value of the final product, which is different compared to recycling, where the value of products decreases.
ECOLOGICALLY
We sew useful and good-looking products following the principles of upcycling, especially from waste materials that arise in the production of sofas.
ETHICALLY
The products are handmade by people from socially disadvantaged backgrounds who, thanks to our company, now have a stable income and a job they enjoy.
CUSTOM
We can customize everything according to your requirements and personalize products not only for private but also for business purposes.
STYLISH
The design of each new type of product is always carefully thought out and designed to be trendy but timeless at the same time.
1. EXCESS MATERIALS
We decided not to waste the quality material that ends up in waste during the production of sofas and put it to a new use.
2. IDEA AND DESIGN
In our workshop, many ideas are created, which we gradually bring to life so that the final product follows the principles of upcycling.
3. PRODUCT PRODUCTION
The products are sewn by skilled people from socially disadvantaged backgrounds. By buying our products, you will also be supporting them.
4. DELIVERY TO YOUR HOME
Our products are made with love and are carefully packaged to be delivered to your home. However, they do not go far, as it is a purely Slovak production.

Products
Textile flower pot

Custom seat
cushions
Custom seat cushions suitable for interior and exterior made of upcycled materials. They are made with durable fabric which means that they are also suitable for the outdoors. We will sew them custom-made for you. You can choose from our upcycled materials or new ones, exactly according to your needs. This product is only partially upcycled, but by buying it you will support the employees of our social enterprise.
Toy pillows
These pillows get a new soft and fluffy life thanks to the production of the sofas and their residual materials – textile scraps from the upholstery, stuffed with white fleece from the leftovers of production. We sew them in the shape of cute animals, so they can serve as a toy in addition to a lounging pillow or decorations.
