PARTNERSHIPS
Branded | Repeatable | Distinctive
IntroductionWe supply manufacturers and established makers — material and pattern, built into your own branded, repeatable range. Years spent refining our process and investing in the right tooling mean production is faster and more consistent than you'd expect from a material this distinctive. Our Signature patterns are engineered around materials we know we can source at scale, and our Waste Material Rescue Service means we hold real stock, not just samples. You bring the expertise and the market. We bring something none of your competitors can offer.
Philosophy-
We use only reclaimed off‑cuts and recycled materials—no new timber ever enters our process. This zero‑waste ethos underpins every Signature pattern.
-
We celebrate the character of reclaimed material — the unexpected colours, tones and textures that give each surface its individuality. By transforming materials that might otherwise be discarded, we create something new, considered and full of visual character.
-
Instead of going by wood species, we offer variety through timber tone — light, mid or dark. This supports our ‘Material Led Design’ philosophy and helps ensure we have the tone you request in stock.
How it's made-

1. Material sourcing
We rescue reclaimed and recycled materials from UK businesses and organisations through our Waste Material Rescue Service. This solves a genuine waste problem for them while securing the material stock we need for production.
-

2. Processing & storage
Materials are processed and organised in our workshop. Timber is stored by tone (not species), and plastics are sorted by colour. This system lets us build consistent patterns and manage our inventory at scale.
-

3. Building marquetry blocks
Each signature pattern can be customised in wood tones and plastic colours, so we build dedicated blocks for each variation. For bespoke commissions, we design and build custom blocks from scratch to bring your unique pattern to life.
-

4. Cutting staves
Slices (staves) are cut from each block—typically at 3mm thick. This substantial thickness creates a generous wear layer that makes our material far more durable than traditional veneers. It resists wear and aging, performing reliably through years of use.
-

5. Final products
Staves are then used to create finished tiles, slats, and boards. We also supply raw staves, ideal for makers and manufacturers to incorporate into their own products. For larger visions, we can scale the process to build complete full interior schemes & projects.

The range of textures, materials and patterns throughout all the components is broad, producing a colourful composition.
Application: Artwork
Materials:
TIMBER - Ash, Oak, Pine, Larch, Beech, Sapele
PLYWOOD - Birch Plywood, Shuttering Plywood
OCEAN PLASTIC - Beach Clean plastics from One Blue Eye
RECYCLED PLASTIC - Acrylics

Inspiration: Using small volumes of timber and plastics from our stores, we produced this pattern. The aim was to work intentionally outside of symmetry, producing a pattern with a distinct ‘front and back’ face.
Application: 3D sign lettering
Materials:
TIMBER - Beech, Sapele
RECYCLED PLASTIC - Acrylic
Stave Width: 45mm
-
Inspiration: We had salvaged a batch of primary coloured acrylic waste from a laser cutting process. Combining these with Larch and shuttering ply, we created a pattern setting the plastics bold colours, against the appearance of the larches end grain.
Application: Artwork
Materials:
TIMBER - Larch
PLYWOOD - Shuttering Plywood
RECYCLED PLASTIC - Acrylic
Stave Width: 60mm
-
Inspiration: This pattern was built to customise a bench seat. We cut a series of hexagons from the staves produced by the marquetry block, setting them into the face of the table for the client, a cascade and overlap of pattern. Here you the pattern of a single stave.
Application: Bench Seat top
Materials:
TIMBER - Iroko
PLYWOOD - Birch plywood
Stave Width: 35mm
-
Inspiration: This was an experimental piece - the pattern results from machining a variety of cut depths, and cut angles across the face of the marquetry block. A consequence of this is a slight translucency that comes through in the plastic elements - a quality we have introduced to later projects.
Application: Artwork
Materials:
TIMBER - Sapele, Beech, Larch
PLYWOOD - Birch Plywood, Shuttering Plywood
RECYCLED PLASTIC - Acrylic
Stave Width: 20mm
-
Inspiration: This development piece looks at creating standalone layered components, machined to precise dimensions, and then set into corresponding voids in the face of Plywood sheets. The idea was to achieve a pleasing distribution of form and colour by repeating machining processes.
Application: Artwork
Materials:
TIMBER - Beech, Sapele
PLYWOOD - Birch Plywood
RECYCLED PLASTIC - Acrylic
Stave Width: 30mm
-
Inspiration: Produced as a development project for the Surface Design show, and later used in a interior projects

Materials:
TIMBER - Ash, Larch, Pine, Beech
RECYCLED PLASTIC - Cd’s, Acrylic
Stave Width: 45mm
-
Inspiration: To make a very one off, detailed and fragmented surface. This would be built using small amounts of timber and acrylic. The pattern's dynamism is the result of multiple machining processes, without the marquetry block suffering a mechanical failure when harvesting staves. This required precise cutting and bonding. Translucent acrylic creates pockets of depth, revealing materials below the surface.
Application: Artwork
Materials:
TIMBER - Pine, Sapele, larch
RECYCLED PLASTIC - Acrylic (Translucent)
Stave Width: 50mm
-
Inspiration: Initially produced as a centre piece to our place at Future Icons, using a work top discarded in Falmouth, saved from the roadside, and off cuts of linoleum from a domestic project. Working with the Lino’s cross section introduces flecks of pastel colours, contrasting the worktops short stave finger jointed construction. A simple and distinctive arrangement of materials.
Application: Artwork
Materials:
TIMBER - Iroko, Sapele
KITCHEN WORKTOPS - Iroko
OTHER - Furniture Linoleum (Forbo)
Stave Width: 40mm

PLYWOOD - Birch Plywood
RECYCLED PLASTIC - Cd’s, Acrylic
Stave Width: 30mm
-
Inspiration: Here we have attempted to create a pattern with high contrast, using the width rather than length of a board. Endgrain Iroko salvaged from a discarded piece of institutional garden furniture has been combined with waste acrylic produced through Laser Cutting processes.
Application: Artwork
Materials:
TIMBER - Iroko, Beech
RECYCLED PLASTIC - Acrylic
Stave Width: 18mm
-
Inspiration: This pattern was built as a development piece aimed at making bold intersections into Birch Plywood sheets, at roughly 60 degree angles. We showed this at the Surface Design show as an example of the possibilities of patterns available.
Application: Artwork
Materials:
TIMBER - Mahogany, Sapele,
RECYCLED PLASTIC - Acrylic
Stave Width: 40mm
-
Inspiration: Experimenting with primary colours, linear language, and materials from our own scrap stores - this constitutes a development piece. Use of translucent acrylic creates pockets of depth over the surface, revealing the otherwise hidden face of the Birch Plywood.
Application: Artwork
Materials:
PLYWOOD - Birch Plywood
RECLAIMED PLASTIC - Acrylic (Solid colour and Translucent)
Stave Width: 40mm
-
Inspiration: We created a marquetry block using Re - Saw off cuts from timber stock and shuttering ply.

Materials:
TIMBER - Oak
PLYWOOD - Birch Plywood, Shuttering Plywood
RECYCLED PLASTIC - Acrylic
RECLAIMED PLASTIC - Cd’s
Stave Width: 35mm
-
Inspiration: Here we have attempted to create a subtle but complex pattern. A limited pallet of materials have been reoriented within the face of Birch Plywood at a 60 degree angle. This creates an interruption to the linear quality of a sheets edge.
Application: Artwork
Materials:
TIMBER - Sapele, Iroko
PLYWOOD - Birch Plywood
Stave Width: 20mm
-
Inspiration: This makes use of acrylic strips and left over from a machining process, plywood and other timbers we have gathered. Using the kerf of a sawblade with care, we create voids that have been filled with other materials. The small volume of materials available at the time dictated that this surface became a stand alone wall decoration.
Application: Artwork
Materials:
TIMBER - Sapele
PLYWOOD - Birch Plywood
RECYCLED PLASTIC - Acrylic
Stave Width: 36mm
-
Inspiration: We produced this pattern to describe the fronts of doors and drawers in an interior project. Using lengths of joinery waste, colourful components were set into the face of timber boards.
Application: Desk cabinet door & drawer fronts
Materials: TBC
Stave Width: 50mm
-
Inspiration: Exhibited at the Surface Design show. This reflects the beginning of our waste partnership with One Blue Eye. They provided us with plastic derived from beach cleans, in a format that we could machine and incorporate within a surface.
Application: Artwork
Materials:
TIMBER - Sapele, Pine
PLYWOOD - Birch plywood
OCEAN PLASTIC - Blocks produced by One Blue Eye
Stave Width: 50mm
-
Inspiration: Produced for a bespoke interior project, we manufactured handles for a kitchen in Perranaworthal. The client knew our work first hand, and simply specified the materials they wanted us to incorporate, happy to leave the pattern arrangement up to us. The distribution of the pattern’s components took into account the face area of a handle pull, in order that its appearance gave the necessary impact.
Application: Kitchen Cabinet Handles
Materials:
TIMBER - Sapele, Beech, Oak
PLYWOOD - Birch Plywood
RECLAIMED PLASTIC - Acrylic, Cd’s
Stave Width: 30mm
-
Inspiration: Using shuttering ply from a project's off cuts, this pattern makes the most of this particular plywood's material variance. Introducing plastic from beach cleans produces colourful instances with a waxy texture - a result of the plastics reforming.
Application: Artwork
Materials:
TIMBER - Pine, Sapele, Oak
PLYWOOD - Shuttering Plywood
OCEAN PLASTIC - One Blue Eye beach clean plastics
Stave Width: 65mm
