We design and make contemporary surfaces and furniture using waste materials that are otherwise destined for landfill. We believe in the beauty of reclaiming, reinventing, and ultimately minimising the footprint on our planet - through the power of handcrafted furniture. We were tired of seeing cheaply produced furniture being shipped from all over the world, having a short life cycle and inevitably ending up in landfill, especially with interior design trends changing so often, and people wanting to update their furniture regularly. There is a big problem with waste in general, so we wanted to find a way of generating waste into materials for our furniture. After much designing and creating various prototypes, we have now developed methods to re-use the likes of used coffee grounds, recycled paper, pallets and bearers, and other such sustainable materials. It's really important to us that the business is as local as possible, so we source coffee from local independents, use unwanted building materials from skips, and take pallets from nearby industrial estates. All of our team are local and we tend to not have any materials shipped in. If we can't find a recycled or local product, we make sure to buy sustainable and only ever use wood that is FSC certified. We're constantly reinventing and designing, and finding new ways of using waste. Our aim is to have a closed-loop cycle within the community. Ideally we would like to give customers the opportunity to return their furniture when they no longer want it and/or it has come to the end of their life, and we'll find a way to update it with a new design thus not creating any waste. Much of our furniture is designed flat-pack so we are able to post to people who are further afield.
