About us
AVA & YVES
ava&yves stands for fine paper on recycled paper, as well as favorite things made of fabric and porcelain with a lot of heart designed.
The company ava&yves was founded in 2013 by Geraldine Koppmann and has its home in Bielefeld. The whole success story around ava&yves started with the lovingly designed postcards by Geraldine. The sweet motifs on the postcards were so well received by their customers that the label’s range quickly expanded.
Geraldine
Geraldine is a mother of two sons and studied graphic design in Bielefeld. She worked as a graphic designer for several years for a large media company.
Of course, her greatest inspiration for the design of the unusual children’s items is provided by her own children.
“The illustrations all come from me. It is very important to me that the designs have a line and, despite the many different materials, give a coherent picture
I find it very exciting to see my designs on new materials. That’s why there are so many different products.”
Our standards
We attach great importance to sustainability in the production of our products and use natural and organic certified materials wherever possible
“For us, sustainable development means taking environmental considerations into account on an equal footing with social and economic considerations. So to be sustainable means that we must leave our children and grandchildren an intact ecological, social and economic fabric. One is not to be had without the other.”
Our studio
Our studio and warehouse is located in Steinhagen near Bielefeld.
We assemble and ship all our products ourselves from Steinhagen.
