"Werkwaardig was founded in 2016 by product designers Timo Keultjes and Diederik Dam.

The name 'Werkwaardig' is a play on the Dutch word 'Merkwaardig', which means 'remarkable'. By flipping the 'M', we created our unique brand name, which stands for 'design that matters'.

Our studio and warehouse are located in Amsterdam East, next to the former Bijlmer prison. The neighborhood has a blend of industrial and rustic charm and is on its way to become one of Amsterdam's most distinctive areas. Just as this former industrial and prison site is evolving into a new, vibrant neighborhood with playful architecture, our brand breathes life into everyday objects, giving them a fresh perspective.

Sustainability is at the heart of our philosophy. Throughout our design process we strive to create the most sustainable versions of our creations. This means seeking out partners who share our willingness to explore innovative and environmentally friendly materials and challenge industry norms.

We believe that unique designer products should be accessible to everyone. We challenge designers to look for that special twist that makes a functional product more quirky and fun.

Together we'll find the best way to turn the idea into a feasible, sustainable and affordable product."
