Michael Marriott has created the Totem Stool. Made from Smile Plastics, a product manufactured from waste materials such as recycled food packaging, the stools use an unpretentious form of construction that is quintessential to Michael Marriott’s work. Design duo Soft Baroque have designed a set of low tables that are made from a new silicastone product by Lancashire-based company Alusid. This material acts like a natural stone but is made from recycled ceramics and glass elements from old television sets.

Plastic Baroque by James Shaw is a process that uses 100% recycled polymers, a raw material that is produced by recycling objects such as plastic bags and is usually only done on a large, industrial scale. Oscar Diaz’s Box Salt and Pepper Grinders have re-appropriated the nostalgic joy of a wind-up toy or music box for the everyday activity of seasoning your meal. By recycling a gesture, in this case turning a key, Oscar seeks to elevate this commonplace object. Ian McIntyre’s ceramics combine industrial processes and hand-making techniques to create an original ceramic product.
