The Build or Buy Store

Hi there!

Build or Buy is an online design store which offers unique hand-made products from international designers — as well as an amazing range of workshops to teach you all the skills & techniques to make the products by yourself! In our store, every single product will leave you with one vital question: am I going to buy it....or am I going to learn how to make one myself? Every product comes with its own DIY workshop at Betahaus, where we’ll bring you in contact with the designer and give you all the tools, skills and techniques to make the product yourself, right at the spot. Skilled or less skilled, we’ll teach you all aspects of craftmanship and turn your from a consumer into a maker! And of course, while enhancing yourself with new Maker skills, you are free to adjust your end product to your very own needs or wishes and replicate as many as you want. Just browse the shop for skills or products, and ask yourself: Build or Buy?
