Dutch industrial design firm FLEX/The Innovation Lab has collaborated with Dutch Design in Development (DDiD) on TaVie, a new collection of home goods crafted by the artisans of the Service Artisanal Agadez cooperative in NIger. The coop is the central sales and export organization representing different Nigerien producers of objects made by artisans out of silver, soapstone (a relatively soft stone), embroidery, batiks and palm leaves.
Dutch Design in Development (DDiD) initiated the Niger project, aiming to link professionals from creative commercial services to producers from developing countries that export to Europe. The TaVie collection will cover a range of home accessories including baskets, dishes, coasters, and bags, stressing luxury, strong branding, and most importantly, the unique, hand-made quality of these products.
