At our vibrant community, we are passionate about sustainability in every aspect of our lives. From food design to photography, refurbished furniture to reused metal and welding, we embrace creativity, innovation, and environmental consciousness.

The Workshops

As a diverse group of artists and makers, we are committed to promoting sustainability in our respective fields.
In our workshop, our welders use recycled materials to create unique and stylish furniture. This approach not only helps reduce waste, but also emphasizes the importance of reusing materials in design. Each piece tells a story and reflects our commitment to sustainability.
The light art installations are made from sustainable materials. These installations not only add visual interest, but also align with our mission to promote sustainability.
Together, we work to integrate sustainable practices into photography, collage art, furniture design, light art, and welding. Our collective efforts are aimed at inspiring others to consider their impact on the planet and embrace a more sustainable future.

De Huiskamer

In our commitment to sustainability, our chefs go the extra mile to ensure that no food or energy used goes to waste. We believe in utilizing every part of the ingredients we work with, fostering creativity in cooking methods and so reduce our environmental impact.
For instance, we repurpose sake, cider and beer residue from local breweries as ingredients in our dishes? By incorporating these by-products into our recipes, we not only minimize waste but also add unique nutritional items, flavours and textures to our culinary creations.
From root to stem, peel to seed, our chefs work their magic to transform every component into a delectable simple masterpiece.
During DDW our chefs will give demo's in different styles of alternative cooking and will host workshops showing you what to do with different foods and preparations.

De Winkels

Nine lifes upholds the values of sustainability not only through second-hand and vintage clothing but also by emphasizing the importance of repair in extending the lifespan of garments. Our fashion enthusiasts don't just wear clothes; they mend, tailor, and breathe new life into each piece, fostering a culture of mindful consumption and waste reduction.
Dedicated to the art of repair, Nine lifes embraces the challenge of restoring and rejuvenating clothing items, turning minor flaws into opportunities for creativity and conservation. By learning repair techniques and sharing knowledge, we empower one another to make thoughtful choices that benefit both our wardrobe and the environment.
