YUME YUME

YUME YUME is an Amsterdam based design brand known for its bold yet functional designs founded by Eva Korsten and Dave Hendriks. YUME YUME encourages people to express themselves freely, allowing them to embrace their distinctiveness and break free from limitations – a brand for dream builders, people who dare to imagine and construct their own surroundings. Aiming to create an open interdisciplinary artistic space that attracts creatives from different fields, they seek boundaries beyond the ordinary, rethinking everyday life and co-exploring new concepts.

YUME YUME commits to creating a healthier environment through lower-impact products with an ongoing journey of exploring alternative materials. Together with MycoWorks, the only mycelium biotechnology company rooted in art, YUME YUME introduces the world’s first head-to-toe outfit entirely grown from Reishi™, a revolutionary leather-alternative biomaterial made from Fine Mycelium™, alongside a living and growing mycelium installation developed by bio designer Erik Swaagstra (Teal).

YUME YUME

is a place to discover Amsterdam’s dynamic and forward-thinking art scene.
