Innovation – Product Data and Communication internship

Company Description

Breathing life into existing products, exploring relaunch opportunities, thinking of entirely fresh creations and exclusive limited editions - this is what our creative team is all about. Diving deep into the creative concept behind each product, this team thinks about what it should achieve, how it should make you feel, and even the colours that resonate. The team’s goal is to craft a tangible product that can be evaluated as a potential addition to our product portfolio, already holding over 800 products.

Our department is a dynamic collective, blending diverse skills and perspectives to nurture innovative ideas. Through collaborative brainstorming, evaluation, and prototyping, we transform these concepts into tangible products that align with our conscious living philosophy.
