SIDE BY SIDE - Social commitment and good design
Side by side: with its household products and everyday helpers, which have won numerous awards for their design, this company shows how design and social commitment can complement each other perfectly. In collaboration with other designers and the Caritas Wendelstein workshops in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps, designer Sabine Meyer has succeeded in giving the clichéd product world of workshops for disabled people a new image with SIDE BY SIDE. The success of SIDE BY SIDE speaks for itself: more than 120 disabled employees now work in the workshops in Raubling. The designers' designs are handcrafted by physically or mentally disabled people in various workshops. Only natural wood and environmentally friendly oils, waxes and varnishes are used. On the one hand, this project creates a sustainable working environment and, on the other, the collection of first-class products has been proving for more than ten years that it can hold its own on the international market. The SIDE BY SIDE products have now been awarded numerous design prizes.MAGAZIN has carried SIDE BY SIDE products in its range since the start of the dedicated initiative. The furniture and household helpers have proven themselves over the years as high-quality everyday companions and have a firm place at MAGAZIN.
