SHOP
kittel is not a commercial endeavour, but driven by value and the urge to address topics relevant to us all. By buying a piece from one of our editions you support the research, design and production of the next edition to come. We personally produce each edition with care in Berlin in small batches. We source our materials responsibly and avoid non-degradable fibres and materials. In the future we plan to opt for used materials where we can and remain agile in our practise to further move towards reducing our environmental impact.

2 Euros of each item sold are donated to an organisation supporting the corresponding cause the edition is making a case for. You can find further information on the respective product page in the shop.

B-STOCK
As in every manual process, occasionally mistakes happen that might lead to imperfections. in our B-stock section we want to offer pieces with small production errors – that are nevertheless fit for use and of high material quality – for a reduced price. In the photos of each product you find examples of possible imperfections for reference, however please note that we do not document each item individually. None of the pieces have hard material defects, such as holes or tears. For reasons of capacity it is not possible to choose the colourway or pattern variation when ordering B-stock. B-stock is by no means an inferior product and we strongly stand against any waste of valuable and valued material due to a false sense of perfectionism. 
B-STOCK
Through kittel we practise design as a dialogue. The beginning of each project is a conversation we have shared on issues, feelings or information we have come in contact with. Upon research, we use design methods to make these matters tangible and contribute further to the discourse. Depending on the topic the outcome can be a prototype, ephemeral or products that are up for sale.
