Kiin wants to be self sustaining for two important reasons:

to be a creative resource that doesn't empty the pockets of it's members in order to survive and to be a positive example of what it looks like to use everything at your disposal consciously and intentionally.

What does that mean for our campervan?

Products and services made and sold through Naamio, Ned, Salvillage, ODAAT, Sortd4. andThrd Space contributes toward our goal. Each project carries part of our goal. It’s slower, but it means the space is built honestly, from the same ideas it’s meant to support.

Choosing to support Kiin's initial step into the physical world means you’re not just funding an idea — you’re helping to build the first version of it.

Every purchase moves this forward. It helps turn something that’s been mostly conceptual into something physical, shareable, and real.

Right now, it’s just me building this but it’s not going to stay that way for long.

Until then, this is how it starts.

how you’re a part of it

how it works

Until Then is the in-between.

Kiin's working towards a physical space of its own and much like everything else it does, it'll be starting from scratch. Kiin recognizes the potential and value in the overlooked and underapreciated so naturally, our first step will be to purchase something that needs attention, and appreciateion: a used campervan. Our goal is £15,000. This will include the purchase, rennovation and a space where we can turn it into a creative resource for whatever community it parks in.

KIIN SPACES

Kiin’s foundations are resourceful creativity and authentic collaboration so that’s what each of its spaces are built on. Kiin’s commitment to providing support through creative development shows up in four different ways: making, connecting, collaborating and growing.

THE MAKING SPACE

THE GROWINGSPACE

THE CONNECTING SPACE

THE COLLABORATINGSPACE

THE MAKING SPACE exists to provide the right tools. Memberships allow access to creative equipment, supplies, and materials. We sometimes find ourselves as creatives on the cusp of a breakthrough when we hit a financial shaped wall.

This wall often makes us say “if only I had _____” or “what if I didn’t have to____”. Kiin’s making space endeavors to fill in those gaps so our members won’t have to.

THE GROWING SPACE exists to provide guidance. Memberships allow access to classes, sessions and panels. Creative development shouldn’t be gatekept. The path should be open and flexible. It shouldn’t cost everything you have to be on it, nor should it exist without fairly acknowledging those who paved it.

Kiin’s growing space makes it possible for creative educators of every style and method to reach those willing to to develop their skills and minds.

THE CONNECTING SPACE exists to provide the right foundation. Building on the right professional relationships and opportunities can be the difference between creative validation and insecurity.

This space is about being given the right materials as much as it is about acknowledging what you already have. This isn’t a networking space to network - it’s a place wher members are given what they need to be recognized by the right people in a meaningful and honest way.

THE COLLABORATING SPACE exists to provide authentic, handmade design in two ways: through Ko-Llab and Kiinshop. Ko-Llab represents what it means to work directly with one of Kiin’s core brands (ned, Salvillage, NAAMIO, ODAAT) to produce something where multiple hands are involved.

Collaborating with Kiinshop looks a little different - it acts as a platform for independent brands, designers, artists and makers to uniquely support themselves in a way that respects their work as well as Kiin’s creative philosophy.
