Do you know the saying
“Think outside the box”?
This idea has always stayed with me and led to what I do today. "Things outside the box" is not just the name of my company, but also a philosophy that I live by every day. It began exactly where my creativity and my passion for upcycling met, prompting the question for the very first time: What else can I create from what others would simply throw away?

Questions and Answers
What is Things Outside The Box?
I am Maja, and Things Outside The Box is my small upcycling workshop from Kevelaer. I make handmade unique pieces from material that others would throw away: bags from upholstery fabric scraps, refurbished vintage furniture, and the sauna collection
What does upcycling mean to you?
I create something new and valuable from scraps and discarded material. Instead of consuming new raw materials, I work with upholstery fabric remnants, old furniture, and B-grade goods that would otherwise end up in the trash.
Where can I buy your stuff?
Right here in the online shop. I will ship your order to your home. Optionally, if you would like to avoid shipping costs, you can also pick up the items from us yourself.
What makes your products special?
Each piece is handcrafted and has a story. You are receiving something sustainable that is truly one of a kind.
