The greenest panel is the one we already cut

We don’t have a sustainability slogan. We have a storage racking system, a panel register and a rule that we check the shelves before we draw anything new. These are our own numbers from the last 12 months.

How we build for a second life

How we build for a second life

Standard grid

Standard grid

Most panels are cut to a standard grid, so a wall from one stand can become a counter back on another.

Mechanical fixings

Mechanical fixings

We screw and clamp where we can and glue only where we must, so parts come apart without breaking.

Fabric over print on board

Fabric over print on board

Tension-fabric skins fold into a bag and can be reprinted on their own. Printed board goes in the skip after one show.

Paint in-house

Paint in-house

Our spray booth lets us refinish a panel instead of replacing it.

Asking first

Asking first

Before we quote new materials, we check what you, or we, already own.

What we still get wrong

What we still get wrong

Custom stands with one-off shapes still leave more in the skip than we’d like, and carpet is our hardest material to reuse. We’re testing reusable floor tiles on our own stand in April. We’ll publish how it went.

Ask us to price the reuse.

Put “reuse” in your brief and your proposal will show which parts are new, which come from stock, and where each one goes after the show.
