ABOUT ANTE UP
ante up is a studio for circular product and furniture design in Vienna, Austria.
We believe in a world in which everything stays in circulation and nothing loses its meaning. Based on this vision, we provide all product design services: We advise on eco-design principles, sustainable materials and production methods. We develop sophisticated concepts, put them to the test in our workshop and create unique products.
Circular objects are best viable when all of their phases of life are considered from the outset: As designers, we have the first opportunity to do so. With this holistic approach, we run our own collection of circular furniture and home accessories and tell their stories in a transparent way - from the origin and processing of the materials to the care and repairability of the products to their return into the cycle. We rely on timeless design, smart constructions and sustainable materials to create durable objects that never lose their meaning.
ante up was founded in 2020 by Benedikt Stonawski and Hauke Unterburg after several joint projects. We studied at the Design Academy Eindhoven (NL) and the Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe (DE).
ante up is a certificated company of OekoBusiness Vienna, a member of the designaustria Sustainability Experts Cluster and part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation community.
