Why is our Design & Production Approach Sustainable?
In a world in which most things are available right here and right now, we want to slow the pace down. We are carefully testing and considering which products are released for sale, if they dont meet our standards they remain prototypes.
Our Products are produced made on order / based on demand. That means we only produce as much as needed to reduce waste and resources.
What does "designed and produced in Zurich" mean?
Our Studio is based in Kreis 4, Zurich. A vibrant, multicultural district known for its eclectic mix of trendy cafes, bars, boutique shops, and a lively nightlife scene, blending creative energy with urban grit.
Since we are using Manufacturing Technologies like Laser-Cutting, 3D Printing we are able to prototype, produce and package our products from our Studio in Zurich. We are also proud members of the Made In Zurich Initiative - an initiative that brings designers, crafters and producers together to work towards are more collaborated and sustainable future.
What kind of Materials are used for our products?
At Dehgraf Studio, we mainly use PLA, a premium, eco-friendly bioplastic derived from renewable resources like cornstarch and sugarcane. Known for its exceptional versatility, durability, and refined surface quality, PLA perfectly complements our commitment to sustainable, high-quality design.
Some of our model variations are based on PETG. This high-performance, recyclable material is known for its resistance to impact, moisture, and temperature variations, allowing us to create lasting, refined pieces that meet the highest standards of quality and functionality.
NOTE: These two materials are widely spread and used in 3D Printing, we make sure to only use the highest rated brands and materials that are selected and thoroughly tested in our Studio.
Where can we see the products offline?
