It was a win-win situation since the shop-keepers didn’t have to pay for dumping them and we had our raw material for free.Like the very first used tube of Dietmar’s bicycle each So we asked local bicycle shops to collect the tubes for us instead of throwing themĪway. Nowadays the inner tubes are thrown away instead of being repaired. Useless item a new meaning – a new value. The idea behind the concept was to develop sustainable designs in times of a prosperous and disposal society, growing consumption and growing rubbish dumps. Previously, the two founders worked in different fields: Stefanie Fauser was costume and stage designer in various theatres whereas Dietmar Goetz had a job as editor and worked as freelance
Take long and the two had to expand even more. Dietmar then helped her and finally they were ready for the next step they founded the company Stef Fauser Design. Upcycled designs grew and Stef wasn’t able to do it all on her own. Since the preparation of the tube until it’s ready to be stitched was quite time intense she saved each little piece and part of the tube. It didn’t take long when his mates from the bicycle team also wanted their “own” driven tube item. The coin purse perfectly fitted into the little pocket of the bicycle shirt. The tube was the one he used at the Berlin bicycle race Velothon in
The story began with the little coin purse “Geldinger” which Stef designed for her friend Dietmar – a keen bicycle addict. Stef Fauser Design was established in 2008 by Stefanie Fauser and Dietmar Goetz in Berlin, Germany.
