re.crate is furniture that combines reclaimed wine crates with odds and ends found on the street. Every piece has its own unique history. re.crate goes against mainstream way of thinking about products as soulless and disposable. The pieces are named for the vineyards that branded their crates. Re-appropriated objects deserve to keep their character, while they become beautiful and lasting furniture. We have created tables, chests of drawers, and cabinets, with more to come. All re.crate products are made in central London (Fulham, SW6). The wood veneer is European oak and the glue is non-toxic PVA.Link to the official website at the end of the page.

Shelves for my comics made from reclaimed wine crates straped together.

SHAWAPAWA is a water-powered shower radio. I wanted to design a 'self-powered' product : it would work without chemical batteries and induce a poetic exchange between power source and use. SHAWAPAWA plugs between the tap and the shower hose using standard fittings. To encourage water saving, with the flick of a button, the user can stop the flow while lathering. An LED gently flashes when the shower has consumed 50 litres.

The City has no time for nature. Urban living means people have little outdoor space. We have created a solution that allows city dwellers to better use this limited space by growing their garden vertically. Verticulture is a system of identical frames that can be stacked in different combinations to create a free-standing structure. Into this, modules are inserted, which can house plants, birds, butterflies and other forms of nature. It's designed to be easy to install and maintain. The integrated irrigation system ensures that the plants are kept perfectly watered. Featured on Core77. Link to the explanative video at the end of the page.

A Steampunk inspired user-centered mobile phone concept for O2. It has no keyboard and no screen. To use the phone, a paper punchcard with binary encoded information must be inserted. The concept reflects the users' frustration with bloated interfaces, and the desire to be more in touch with the hardware. Winner of 'Most Mutated Design'.

A sustainable shopping trolley for the clothing store chain. The design allows the user to hang their clothes neatly, it has a smaller footprint than the current version and 2 layers of storage space for bulk items. The frame is made from bamboo extrusions and folded steel plates riveted together. The basket is made from a sigle foded sheet of polypropylene. It could also made of card and be printed for special occasions.

A project exploring different manufacturing processes. The original concept model was a pasta scoop made from twigs. Processes employed: 3D scanning + stereo lithography, polyeurethane resin casting, pewter investment casting.

On the rocks is a new type of ice tray. It creates beautiful ice peaks in the bottom of your glass. To make them, the user pours a bit of water into the glass, then puts the silicon mould in the glass and leaves everything in the freezer. The mould is then removed and the frosted glass is then left with the sculpted glass at the bottom.

The shell is made of Jasmonite, a hard plaster. It had to be cast into a mould made of welded triangles of steel.
