tät-tat stands for innovative, witty, and distinctive Swiss design with a clear added value. Since its founding in 1994 by Brigitta and Benedikt Martig-Imhof, the design studio near Zurich has specialized in developing thoughtfully engineered everyday objects and high-quality lifestyle products from socially responsible production. The core philosophy unites sophisticated design with the promotion of social integration through work.

Production & Social Responsibility:

• Social Manufacturing: Since 2015, tät-tat has been developing and manufacturing its product ranges and agency projects in close partnership with Dock Gruppe AG, the largest social enterprise in Switzerland, as well as other sheltered workshops.
• Sustainability & Circular Economy: The product concepts are based on upcycling—repurposing residual materials and used items into design objects of first-class aesthetic value.
• Awards: The studio has been honored with several renowned design prizes for its unconventional, beautifully packaged product ideas and its commitment to combining innovation with jobs for socially disadvantaged individuals.

Through Swiss craftsmanship from sheltered workshops, tät-tat transforms apparent weaknesses into true strengths and creates durable design products with a deeper purpose.
