At Schneid they work with a holistic view of sustainability. Their entire process of creation is soaked with the fundamental concept of creating fascinating objects with ethical value. For them, working sustainably also entails sharing the vision and enhancing sensitivity in order to elevate the consumer’s perception of craftsmanship and artisanship. Ethics and aesthetics go hand in hand - Schneid’s products are the result of a process characterized by formative research work and conception to the close cooperation with local manufacturers. At the heart of their business lies the approach ‘form follows meaning’. For this reason Schneid strive to further ethical aesthetics and believe that the close correlation of the two constitutes a crucial base for extraordinary and timeless design. Craftsmanship is key - Inspired by heritage techniques and the masterly skills of trained professionals, they maintain strong, long-term relationships with small local businesses where manual skills have traditional value. The independent and self-directed production of their designs ensures authentic and high quality products and enables Schneid to support these workshops, aiming to create new markets for age-old art forms. Every creation comes with responsibility - They believe designing entails responsibility. The thoughtfully considered choice of materials for an object is one of the most essential tasks in the process of designing. The use of ecological resources is just as important to Schneid as striving for implementing material innovations and developing natural alternatives for common industrial manufacturing processes, for which they are being sponsored by the European Union.
