Hi!
Binth was co-founded by Creative Director Suzanna Bierwirth in 2005.
We create original, timeless designs for the modern family. Our products are crafted with the utmost care right here in the USA. We work closely with small, family-owned businesses and craftsmen that share our expectations for high quality and an unfailing attention to detail. We love what we do and the people we work with! And we think that shows...
Now to answer the most frequently asked question, BINTH is simply a word one of us invented.
Our take on things...
We believe that life is best when shared with family and friends.
We think that good letters are written by hand.
We like finding new points of views.
We admire things that work.
We trust the child in all of us.
We see beauty in the everyday.
We question conventions.
We cherish traditions.
We are curious about what’s next.
We wonder. And we wander...
We are...a group of Creatives from all walks of life. As indiviuals we are:
Suzanna. Creative Director Born and raised in the Woodlands of Germany. Mother of Jarek. While calling Chicago her home for over 17 years now, Suzanna’s work take her all over the globe.

Suzanna is passionate, sometimes relentless and always searching for new inspirations and collaborations. She also serves as a Creative Director for a Global Advertising agency. Her roster of clients include Sharpie, PrismaColor, Herradura Tequila, Jack Daniels, MILK and Nivea.
