In the Kaiserhaus Bern, the Association Equilibre and the KoKoTé manufactory are creating a place where resources are used mindfully and kept in circulation.

In the workshop, textiles and leather are cared for, repaired, redesigned, or further developed through upcycling. High-quality materials – from recycled fabrics to refurbished leather – thus retain their value and their history.

At the same time, Association Equilibre combines craftsmanship with social commitment: training and jobs, especially for women with a refugee background, create prospects and strengthen sustainable professional skills.

The Kaiserhaus thus demonstrates what careful use of resources means: appreciation for materials, people and craftsmanship – as a lived alternative to the throwaway society.

A place is being created where craftsmanship, education
and sustainability working together – concretely, sensually and with a focus on the future.

For those interested, here is a short version of the project description .
