Cross Collaborative C² is a twin-city design studio based in Chengdu and Frankfurt. They believe that the vitality of design lies in extensive interdisciplinary collaboration and diverse cross-cultural exchanges. By using design as a medium, we aim to create wider public engagement with less natural energy consumption, thereby achieving “Re is More”.

“Re is More” is less of an irony towards the numerous design slogans of the 20th century and more of a rooting of new design thinking. Against the backdrop of global warming and the depletion of natural resources, we no longer need design slogans, but rather design actions. By responding to changes, rethinking what sustainable living means, we can find ways to react: reduce waste and pollution; reuse resources that have already been utilized; recycle resources to bring them back into circulation. “Re is More” embodies sustainable design.
