Andries de Lange

Andries De Lange is a social, designer and craftsman based in Berlin, who combines and activates collaborative design, practical learning, and social methods to bring awareness about consumption, waste, upcycling, and contemporary community subjects. He believes that designing and building is a way of connecting people, ecosystems, and social issues in a critical, and progressive way. For him, to design is to build a more emphatic future for humans, and non-humans, based on local materials and non-extractivist practices, that can regenerate different layers of society, through ecological, cultural, and joyful approaches.
