Through our designs, we seek new methods to create products within equitable systems of production and consumption. At Piet Hein Eek during DDW '23, we are unveiling our first product, lighting.

outil.li grew from an ambition to renew the way we produce and consume everyday objects. We are inspired by the heyday of industrial design during which designers like Dieter Rams and Ettore Sottsass were responsible for objects marked by honesty, playfulness and intrinsic quality. outil.li sets out to rediscover these values for our current age. A time with an obvious necessity for a new sustainable approach to development and production.

Using small scale, digital manufacturing, recycled materials and by integrating the processes of development and production we have developed a lamp as a utility. A voluminous pendant lamp with lightweight construction and direct tabletop control allows perfect light in any context.
