Ecodesign
We want our design to contribute to a better world, not put more ‘crap’ on it! All Things We Like brings you playful design that has a positive impact on your mood but minimal impact on the environment. Our unique Dutch Eco-Designs are beautiful both on the outside and inside. As nature is our biggest inspiration, our design is environmentally friendly produced. Janneke started her company in 2011, out of a passion for design and sustainability. A product can be so much more; a vessel to share a story, to educate, a vision on environmental and social responsibilty.
With our label we like to inspire you to make eco-friendly and fun choices. We love to experiment with innovative sustainable materials and techniques like new recycled plastics. To make trash into new treasures. Needless to say we also prefer to work with honest materials. The wood we use is FSC certified or recycled and our posters are printed on biological paper. That’s how much we value fair and honest design. Our collection ranges from lasercut and 3D-printed jewelry, wooden decorative objects, illustrated porcelain tableware handprinted cards and posters… well, as our name already says: all things we like!
Socialdesign
We believe in the power of creativity and design to help transform society. We use the impact of design for the social good. We don’t sell out on our planet and human rights. Caring for the environment is as important for us as caring for the people behind our products. For the production of our collections we collaborate with local artisans and social workplaces, who are so proud to deliver you the best quality while making sure our designs do contribute to a better world. Real products by real people.

The studio
All Things We Like items are designed in our studio in the beautiful city of Utrecht, in the center of Holland. Before an item leaves the studio, it’s polished, assembled and finished by hand. This ensures that every single piece is made with love and dedication.
Ever since we started All Things We Like out of our passion, it has been a success. When the first small collection of wooden lasercut necklaces was released in 2011, media picked up on it and it sold out almost immediately. We are very proud our collections are sold in designstores and musea throughout the world, spreading our eco-love.
All Things We Like is run by designer and founder Janneke van der Heijden from the studio in Utrecht. Here, in the creative factory ‘Vechtclub XL’ the studio is surrounded by inspiring, talented entrepreneurs and designers. In this creative hotspot you can find, next to the studio and showroom, an organic restaurant, ceramic ateliers, a vegetable garden, organic bakery and even a brewpub. Come by and be inspired!
