KOLEKTIV za/RAZNO is crossbred of social enterprise and creative industry, where design is used as business strategy empowering disadvantaged through creative visibility. Our mission is to facilitate labor engagement and visibility for vulnerable groups, especially mothers of disadvantaged children (1) by setting up a design brand with sustainable contemporary products from recycled post-consumer & biodegradable materials (2). In parallel we work to create a high-quality day care center (3) for disadvantaged children with a “design for life” research center for improvement of their everyday life (4). The long-term objectives are to promote social awareness regarding vulnerable groups, improve social inclusion and provoke overall cultural regeneration as well as socioeconomic revitalization of the area.

KOLEKTIV za/RAZNO is set to become a design brand, with the products that combine contemporary design and authentic local tradition. The products are made from recycled post-consumer or biodegradable traditional materials. We use materials from local and regional sources and through excellent workmanship and green technologies we work to ultimately reduce negative environmental issues. Our goal is to have products made with the innovative implementation of materials within the concept of contemporary living. The design and details of each product have highest level of comfort, with carefully processed details providing comprehensive functionality with an authentic aesthetic. Yet, what most characterizes them is joyful playfulness and fun of use.
