“Our mission is to establish a design-driven label where creativity takes center stage. With our dedicated team and boundless imagination, we create bold statements and collaborate with designers to stay as original and innovative as possible.”

A good design stays good. Functional, timeless and high-quality – and certainly never boring. That’s why our unique designs always have a typical &klevering flair: cool, colourful and quirky. We hold on to that vision as we create every collection. From the first sketch to the final touch, we are as committed to each new collection as we were to all the previous ones. It takes real teamwork, because we can only stay original – and preserve our DNA – if we work together. We believe that with our whole hearts.

“Originality is woven into our DNA, reflected in every item we create.”

Buro Bergers’ distinct taste, guided by collaboration with young, renowned designers and artists who see projects through from start to finish, defines every piece. This commitment results in contemporary, special, and high-quality products that are designed to last a lifetime. You’ll cherish their uniqueness and beauty for years to come—that’s the essence of Berger.
