About us

The design label 'Konstantin Slawinski - Housewarming Objects' (KSHO) was founded 20 years ago. Even in the early years, KSHO and the designers at R S W worked closely together. Thanks to their innovative design and high quality, KSHO's products have made many customers happy and have won several prestigious design awards. On their journey together, R S W has designed numerous products for KSHO that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also solve functional problems. These include the "Charge-Box", the elegant solution for unsightly multiple sockets, chargers and the associated cable clutter, as well as the award-winning "BasketBin", which separates paper and residual waste directly at the desk. Another bestseller is "Barrow". A mobile fire bowl that also serves as a high-quality barbecue for sociable evenings outdoors.

At the beginning of the year, KSHO announced that it was discontinuing the sale of all its products. However, this does not mean the end for these extraordinary designs. R S W will take over the distribution of the specially designed products from the KSHO collection and ensure that they remain available. This will continue the tradition of innovation and first-class design that has been established in recent years.

Sustainability is a crucial issue for us. We know that climate change, resource consumption, and environmental pollution are serious challenges that cannot be met neutrally — you are either part of the problem or the solution. Since taking over the collection, we have been testing all products for their sustainability, aiming to improve them step by step.

What's already on the plus side?

• All products are manufactured under fair conditions in Germany or the EU.
• All products are durable and easy to recycle at the end of their life cycle.
• Our logistics partner for storage and shipping to customers has been climate-neutral since 2019 and offsets CO2 via ClimatePartner.
• Over 90% of our new packaging is bio-based and/or made from recycled materials. Parts of our packaging are produced climate-neutrally in Hanover.
• Our office uses green electricity and district heating.
• We have chosen the environmental bank GLS as our financial partner to ensure that our financial transactions align with our sustainable values.

We are constantly working on further sustainable measures for a greener future.
