HOW WE WORK
contact
RESCUED aims to work with new and enduring manufacturers and purveyors of the local. In a world that is seemingly ruled by globalization, mass production and the cheapest of the cheapest, a growing number of consumers are seeking out the local, and thereby the authentic, the storied, the ecofriendly and the obscure. RESCUED wants to reach these consumers through retailers which support this philosophy.
If you’re interested in our collection please call or mail us at +31 (0) 6.22.98.16.63 or +31 (0) 6.48.88.52.06.
FROM WASTE TO WONDERFUL Whether good or bad, the passing decades all leave impressions on the development of design. If we all do our part, our generation’s mark will not only be looked upon favourably, but also praised for its consideration to the environment. Contributing to both, Dutch label RESCUED relies primarily on used materials, using imagination and refined skills to upcycle each into a design that will add richly to the home. And manufactured by skilled craftsmen with disabilities, RESCUED’s collections also make positive steps for society, keeping an encouraging focus from start to finish.
