We are Wortel, a team of ambitious product designers and product engineers who design sustainable products for its clients.
About us
In 2009, Frank Westland started as an entrepreneur with the design of products for various SME companies. In order to bring new or better products to the market, these companies are looking for more design capacity or expertise. This makes sense, because product development is a specialism and not the profession of any company. Over the years he noticed how also large companies, who often have their own developers and engineers, are looking for innovative ideas and specialist knowledge. Businesses increasingly shared his vision to develop sustainable products. This formed the basis for design agency Wortel.

Goede producten
All products are produced, transported, used and discarded. As product designers we have a big influence on these aspects. For example, we can opt for materials that are broken down by nature – or are completely reusable. We can design a product in such a way that it will last for a long time – or in a way that it is very easy to disassemble, adapt or improve. We can use non-toxic substances and smart production methods.
By making the right choices we can design good products. Products that make the world better, not worse. Products our clients can distinguish themselves with. Products that the customers of our clients choose for specifically, proudly and with conviction, now and in the future.
