4 years of Livlig. What a journey.

Sometimes great things happen not despite the plan, but beyond it.
LIVLIG is the best example of this.

Not following a clear playbook. No strategic master deck to begin with, and no textbook innovation process to follow. But a team with attitude, courage, a deep sense of ownership, and a real drive to make things happen.

And an environment that said: Just do it.

Today - four years later - Livlig is more than just a venture:
✅ € 3 million turnover
✅ 50.000 orders
✅ Sales in eight countries

At REHAU New Ventures, we’re proud – not because everything followed a perfect plan, but because our trust in the team paid off.

Thank you, Livlig. For your courage, your path, your impact and finally, the wonderful products.

And thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.

Christoph Hacker Stefanie Grahl Nicole Lüttge Rebecca Metzler

Livlig means: real people, real care.
Just like on day one – every order is packed with love. (Video below👇)

Happy 4th birthday! 🎉

👉 What was your bravest step off the plan? We look forward to your stories.

„Change creates space – in one of Munich’s best locations.“

Our office on the 7th floor near Munich’s #Werksviertel is a true favorite: Modern #openspace design, separate meeting rooms, a fully equipped kitchen, restrooms – and a view you won’t forget.
365 m², including a storage room and two outdoor parking spaces, are ready for creative minds and fresh ideas.

But: We're there far less often than we’d like.
With our new Venture Clienting strategy, we’re moving closer to our internal clients – the REHAU Group.

👉 So we’re asking ourselves:
Is there someone out there who might love this space as much as we do? Maybe you? 💭 Whether you're a start-up, project team or creative unit – we believe this space has huge #potential.

Move-in? Flexible.
The current lease is still in place, but there’s room to find the right agreement.
📩 Feel free to reach out via DM or directly to Alice Lottes.

Sharing is caring – so pass it on or tag someone who comes to mind!

„In cities, space is a luxury. With Ctool, we give it back – playfully and beautifully.“
Joeri Reynaert, Designer of Ctool and Founder of JRS Studio

Welcome to the vibrant world of ästik – the new high-class interior brand that redefines urban living.

At REHAU New Ventures, we believe that smart design can transform the way we inhabit our surroundings. That’s why we’re proud to present Ctool – the latest creation from our venture ästik.

Ctool. Changing your perspective.
A cute stool becomes a side table with just a 90° turn. Light, stackable, surprisingly comfortable – and full of character.

Made from recycled, rotational molded plastic, Ctool is:
✔ multifunctional and space-saving
✔ rich in texture and color
✔ bold in form, but easy to integrate
✔ compatible with other ästik pieces like Wonderwall, POT and Geta

From translucent neutrals to vibrant accents – every version of Ctool tells a different story. Its playful shape and unique material make it a real conversation starter in any room.

👉 Curious about Ctool or interested in bringing ästik to your region?
We’d love to hear from you – let’s shape tomorrow’s interiors together.

"How can we improve our processes and product offering so that our customers truly feel the difference?"

That’s a question Michael asks himself every day.
Michael (Mykhaylo) Vergunenko manages REHAU´s Business Service Center in #Poznań - where central services are provided for many #REHAU Group companies. His role? Not just to manage processes. But to rethink them. From the perspective of the people who use them.

With a keen sense for processes, a great service attitude and an eye for the essentials, Michael and his team drive #change. Not loudly, but effectively. Not theoretically, but very concretely.

Michael doesn't just look inwards. Together with our REHAU New Ventures Venture Clienting team around Ronja Stoffregen, he would like to get targeted innovation to Shared Services - by working with start-ups and new technologies. Here’s why AI makes all the difference: not just because it shows what's happening in your processes, but because it helps you understand why, predict what’s next, and optimize intelligently. Change, in this context, means staying curious, listening, trying things out – and sticking with it.

Thank you, Michael - for your courage to question things. For your ambition to make things better. And for your contribution to real change.

And who knows - maybe we'll soon be able to present the first pilot that brings this change to life. Stay tuned.
