Auf der schwarzen Arbeitsfläche stehen ein schwarzer Mixer mit Glaskrug, ein Holzbrett mit Gläsern voller Kichererbsen, Rote Bete und Tahini sowie eine Knoblauchzehe. Im Hintergrund sind eine Ölflasche und ein Gasherd zu sehen. Die Person hackt Kräuter in einer kleinen Schüssel. Die Szene wirkt gemütlich und gesundheitsbewusst.

Where

At the vegetarian restaurant »Mangolds«, the interplay of sustainable materials, thoughtful design, and conscious living becomes visible – with no compromises.

Designed for Circularity – the re:Mix Blender by open funk

»open funk« aims to rethink household appliances: durable, locally produced, and repairable. Their first product, the »re:Mix« blender, is built on exactly these principles. It works with standard mason jars, features a modular design, and uses carefully selected, reusable materials – including a surface made from recycled plastic that gives each device its own unique texture. The blender combines function, joy, and responsibility – a kitchen tool that does more than just blend.

 

Sustainable Surfaces – Furniture by Green Square

»Green Square« brings the »re:Mix« concept into the room: with bar stools and tables made from the same recycled surfaces, these pieces of furniture visually and conceptually complement the blender. Durable, modern, and consistently thought through – from material to use. »Green Square« stands for design that invites conscious consumption – aesthetic, ecological, and made to last across generations.

 

Mangolds: A Stage for Good Living and Good Design

As host, »Mangolds« brings everything together: sustainable cuisine, beautiful spaces, and visionary ideas. As part of »Design in the City«, the venue becomes a platform for circular product design – and a meeting place for those who want to unite beauty, enjoyment, and responsibility.

 

Meet the Designer

As part of the design tour »Culture Fusion«, taking place on 16 May 2025 at 16.00, designers from »open funk« and »Green Square« will be present at »Mangolds«. Take the opportunity to meet the brilliant minds behind the products in person.
