"MADE 51 is a collaborative working model. It’s not a brand, but a solution. We offer retailers the chance to become part of this solution to the refugee crisis by supporting us with expertise or buying our products."
MADE51 is supported by local social enterprises to develop collections of design-oriented home accessories, fashion and gift items. The extraordinary products combine design with history, tradition with modernity. Each object reflects the skills of the refugee artisans and tells its own unique story.
"These are all very valuable, handmade and design-oriented products. We want to prove that despite the fact that refugees are living in these poor conditions, they have the same skills and talents as everyone else. And if you give them the opportunity, they create amazing things."
