Repurposing design with AKI

Repurposing is typically considered to be more sustainable than recycling

We wanted our lamps to be durable objects to cherish and pass on, as testimonial of great European craft keeping in mind a sustainable way of living. So enhanced durability it's connected with conscious consumer choices to reduce the products we buy and resources we need to produce them. We purposefully used glass for AKI oil lamps – a material that can be recycled time and time again. This also gives you the meaning of long life, of something that comes from the past, is in the present and can go into the future. AKI design its unique among other oil lamps in the market and has more than one specific function. AKI are easy to clean and refill so to be repurposed and used to hold a small bouquet of flowers, or as a reed diffuser. “These are all welcoming rituals. When somebody comes into your home, and you want to create a warm cosy atmosphere, you simply light a candle or an oil lamp, arrange some fresh flowers or spread a relaxing scent. In this sense, AKI is really connected to your personal dimension. It's not just an oil lamp.”
