think.
TNK (ThiNK) green is a multidisciplinary design and lifestyle practice that embraces a holistic approach to design. We are committed to sustainability and creating products of value with the smallest carbon footprint possible, from conception to completion.
Our focus is on creating spaces and products that are enough—not more, not less than what is necessary—and making sustainable choices along the way that allow both humans and the planet to thrive. Our aesthetics present good design and sustainability on the same page. This starts with applying practical thinking to our design process. Growing these ideas into real spaces and products, and dwelling green with longevity.
