On April 10, 2026, OF GOODS will open as a new “People’s Place” in Kaiserhaus Bern. Spread over three floors, the venue combines a store, CircularLAB, and manufactory—featuring over 60 brands and exciting insights into materials, processes, and sustainable consumption.
KoKoTé actively contributes to the CircularLAB, bringing its experience in craftsmanship, upcycling, and social integration. In Bern, women with a refugee background will also be trained and supported on their path to a professional qualification.
The OF GOODS concept responds to a profound shift in retail: consumers are increasingly interested in the origin, materials, care, and repair of products. A central component is the CircularLAB—a publicly accessible workshop and learning space for the circular economy in textiles and leather. Here, care, repair, refurbish, and upcycling are not only offered but also made visible, further developed, and economically tested.
We are excited to be part of this forward-looking project!
The opening on April 10 and 11, 2026 invites visitors to discover the Kaiserhaus and its diverse offerings, engage with producers, and gain insights into new forms of trade, craftsmanship, and circularity.
Come and have a look!
