Why OBAstudios is producing locally

At OBAstudios, our work goes beyond just making beautiful products. We believe in thoughtful production, sustainability, and supporting our community. All our items are crafted either in our small workshop in Berlin or at Christophorus Werkstätten in Fürstenwalde, where we work alongside people with special needs to create soap dishes. Here’s why local production matters to us—and how it can benefit your store or business.

1. Quality You Can Trust

When everything is made close to home, we can ensure each product is carefully crafted. In our Berlin workshop, our team puts attention into every detail, from design to finishing. For you, this means products that not only work well but look good too—items you can confidently offer to your customers.

2. Kind to the Planet

By producing locally, we reduce our environmental footprint. Fewer emissions from transport and the use of eco-friendly materials make our process more sustainable. Whether it’s a soap dish or an aroma stone diffuser, each product reflects our commitment to making things that are good for people and the planet.

3. Supporting Our Community

Our local production isn’t just about making products; it’s about making a difference. In Berlin, we support local jobs, while our partnership with Christophorus Werkstätten provides meaningful work for people with special needs. Every purchase helps strengthen our community.

4. Flexibility for Your Needs

Because we produce everything locally, we can quickly adapt to your needs. If you need something special, like a custom design or specific branding, we’re happy to help. This flexibility allows us to make products that fit perfectly with what you and your customers are looking for.

5. Transparent and Honest

We’re proud of how we make our products, and being local means we have full oversight of every step. You can trust that what you see is what you get—ethical practices, sustainable materials, and a focus on quality that we’re happy to share with you.

6. Quick and Responsive Service

Local production also means we can get products to you faster. With shorter lead times, we’re able to meet your needs quickly and handle any requests you might have along the way. Whether you're placing a large order or need a few extra items, we’re here to help.

The Heart of What We Do

At OBAstudios, local production is about more than just making things. It’s about doing things the right way—with care for the environment, our community, and the people who use our products. Whether you’re a retailer, a company looking for gifts, or a soap manufacturer, we’re here to create something thoughtful and well-made for you.
