WIKD selects high-quality materials (from solid wood and steel, to leather and sponge) and reuses them in a new, integrated design. The result is a high-quality, beautiful and sustainable new product that is also affordable due to its clever design and an inventive use of energy.
WIKD Upcycling Project makes custom sustainable furniture. They also have a small range of furniture that you can view at their place. They process waste materials in a new, integrated design.

WIKD enters into partnerships with numerous partners within the circular economy and the design sector, both in the Ghent region and in the Brussels region. They work with talented professionals, but where possible they also focus on structural collaborations with partners from the social economy.
