AKD is a creative design studio
with a focus on using distributed design and digital fabrication to make contemporary, sustainable and inclusive products, furniture and artefacts.
AKD offers design services including education and workshops, design consulting and bespoke design. We also develop eco-design products and furniture that support repairability, circularity and mass customisation.
Our planet needs an alternative approach to how we make our material world. We are committed to exploring sustainable models for the conception, production and consumption of design that solve your design challenges with fresh thinking and balance with nature.
By working with people, for people and locally to people, we can make the things everybody needs more sustainably and inclusively. We do this by working distributively, harnessing the power of technologies like 3D printing and empowering communities to engage in the process of making and repairing their products.
