24. Eline van Dijkman - Rubber.

A series of outdoor furniture shows the unique properties and potential of recycled rubber waste.

Van Dijkman created an outdoor set with raw-chunky cut-outs of sheet material that are originally used for the agriculture industry. The furniture features clean lines, sharp angles and a rough unpolished finish, portraying an industrial aesthetic while highlighting visual imperfections of the recycled material.

23. - (Un)woven.

Can colour make textile waste attractive? When recycling not only fibres but also colour itself – what new production methods emerge?

From marble-like patterns to developing novel dyeing processes for mixed blend unrecyclable textile fibres - Studio Sarmite investigates various waste streams from the textile industry as a resource for creating new material lifecycle concepts. (Un)woven is a new bio-textile concept made of inferior textile fibres, created as an alternative to the flawed traditional textile recycling process.

22. - From The Underground.

Tiles are a defining feature of the London Underground 🚇, the world’s oldest metro system, yet their material origins are often unknown. Typically, virgin resources extracted through open-pit mining are used in production.

To address this, Jeffrey Miller’s project makes tiles from the waste produced during the construction and operation of the London Underground itself. The materials include naturally forming London clay excavated during tunnel boring and iron oxide-rich dust from train wheels grinding against steel tracks.

11. - 100% Grass Materials.

Hannah Elisabeth Jones is a multidisciplinary artist-designer specialising in biomaterials and organic colour.

Her latest project comprises regenerative materials made entirely from grass cuttings sourced by hand within North-West England. The materials do not contain any synthetic or natural binders. Unlike most other plants for fibres and trees for paper pulp, grass is a locally abundant resource and does not die when cut – but continuously grows. Once used, the materials can biodegrade and contribute to soil organic matter.

6. - Corrugated h**p fibre panel.

In a project with Studio Propolis, Margent Farm's corrugated h**p fibre panels were used to front a collection of cabinets. As with many of Studio Propolis’s projects, they start with what they have at hand or can be salvaged. As such, the proportion of the pieces have been defined by the up-cycled corrugated h**p panels from Margent’s early prototypes as well as off-cuts from their external wall cladding (used on the Flat House) which have been set in solid ash frames.

“When we set out to find the perfect home for Material Source Studio in Glasgow, we sought a building that was central, spacious, and allowed us to re-use as much of the existing fitout as possible”, explains Darren.

“Since we opened our first Studio, the architecture and design community has, quite rightly, time-and-time again, pressed home the importance of designing around what we are given, while re-using wherever possible.”

“In Glasgow”, adds Michael Rogan, co-founder, and operations director of Material Source, “we set out to do just that”… read more about the build of Material Source Studio Scotland on Material Source online.
