Based in Belgium’s fashion and design capital, Antwerp, ecoBirdy was started by Vanessa Yuan and Joris Vanbriel with an aim to combat the overflowing plastic pollution with an unconventional weapon. ecoBirdy transforms old plastic toys into beautiful design furniture for kids through a rigorous process of recycling and upcycling. What’s interesting is that, that these pieces are also completely recyclable. The destined meeting between the co-founders, Vanessa Yuan and Joris Vanbriel happened ten years ago while working for international fashion and design studios. They started their own design studio Vanbriel Yuan Bvba in 2008 and today they proudly manage their own design brand, ecoBirdy.
