Transform your old furniture into something brand new with the help of Mees and Harvey of Generatie Groen. Join us for a two-day woodworking workshop where you will learn about our innovative approach to woodworking and the importance of upcycling to make our world a greener place.

Throughout the workshop, Mees and Harvey will guide you through the process of analyzing and transforming your furniture step by step. From surface preparation to the final touches, we will cover all aspects of woodworking. Our aim is to ensure that you leave with a piece of furniture that has been given new life and reflects your creativity.

Located in the NDSM big incubator, this workshop is part of a community of young creators. Bring your lunch and water bottle with you, and take a short break before continuing on with the project. If you don't have any old furniture, don't worry! Mees and Harvey will provide one for you, such as a small table, coffee table, chair, desk, or stool.

At the end of the two-day session, you will take home your very own upcycled furniture, a unique piece that showcases your creativity and commitment to sustainability.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Mees and Harvey and be a part of the NDSM creative community. Join us for a workshop that will transform your old furniture into something new and beautiful.

Meet Mees & Harvey from Generatie Groen

Woodworker

Welcome to the world of Generatie Groen, the design and fabrication studio founded by two friends, Harvey Hendriks and Mees van de Nes. These two young minds met during their studies in Industrial Product Design in Amsterdam and have since become inseparable. They share a common interest in making a positive impact on the environment and view the world through a critical eye.

Generatie Groen believes that there is a lot that can be done to change the way we treat our planet. We live in a society that is obsessed with consumerism, always seeking more and new things. But, is this really necessary? Harvey and Mees believe that countless innovative solutions can make our way of life greener.

Their mission is to bring these solutions to light, hence the name, Generatie Groen. One of the innovative solutions they employ is the use of existing materials. They use waste and residual streams to create new products, which not only reduces waste but also minimises the need for new materials.

At Generatie Groen, they live by their values and stand by what they believe in. They stand for a greener world, and they are doing their part to make it happen. Their dedication to sustainability has earned them a spot at Treehouse NDSM, an arts incubator located in Amsterdam's creative heart.

So, if you're looking for a design studio that is committed to creating sustainable products, look no further than Generatie Groen. Join the green revolution today!
