Hello, welcome to
DAINTY DYSTOPIA!
We all like to leave our mark, preferably a lasting one. Whether our world will be a better place because of our footprint remains to be seen. But if not, we want to at least add a little grace and adornment to our dystopia: DAINTY DYSTOPIA.
My name is Anke, and together with my team of bright minds, Dainty Dystopia was born. It's in our DNA to shape and positively develop both our own environment and that of those around us. While we work creatively and conceptually in the fields of communication, design, fashion, and music in our professional lives, we seek moments of inspiration and fascination in our free time. Travel is known to be a very effective method for broadening our horizons—a theory we wholeheartedly agree with! Travel provides the opportunity to observe, experience, and perhaps even understand. It leads to far more than just going there and back again, for example, to the founding of our label.
DAINTY DYSTOPIA is an expression of our love for originality and a devotion to uniqueness. In the interior and accessories categories, we offer our own handcrafted objects, either as individual pieces or in small series.
These are complemented by a catalog of hand-picked products that we discover on our travels with a keen eye for design and detail. We visit local markets, speak to artists and producers, and familiarize ourselves with manufacturing and trading processes. We believe that such direct support of local artists can be a way to preserve old traditions and qualities. Furthermore, this way we can ensure that our goods are handmade, authentic products that are not only beautiful, but also evoke emotions and tell a story. Since all items are either truly unique pieces or produced in small series, we unfortunately cannot guarantee general availability. To put it bluntly: what's gone is gone. However, if you've fallen so deeply in love with a particular item that you can't sleep without it, please contact us. We'd be happy to ask if a similar product is currently available locally or can be ordered.
In addition to the shop's offerings, we'd like to invite you to take a look over our shoulders and see what we're up to with the DAINTY DYSTOPIA Journal. In the "Travel" section, you'll find our travel reports, tips, and experiences from our travels. "Do It Yourself" gives you an insight into our creative processes. "Design & Inspiration" focuses on trends and phenomena from the world of design. We hope you enjoy reading!
And now: look around, feel at home!
Anke
