From reclaimed advertising banners to event graphics, end-of-life uniforms and technical textiles, each project begins with what already exists. The material sets the direction. The design gives it form, function and meaning.

ReCreate works with brands, cultural institutions and teams to transform existing materials into design objects, limited series and creative experiences with identity, use and presence.

projects

Bespoke design projects from existing materials

ReCreate develops design projects from reclaimed materials with visual, institutional or emotional value.

This service is created for brands, cultural institutions and organisations that want to transform their own materials into objects with continuity, presence and use. We study the material, understand its technical behaviour and visual potential, and define what it can become.

Projects may be developed from existing ReCreate models or through a more specific design process, depending on the material, quantity and final purpose.

Gifting

Corporate and institutional gifts with meaning

ReCreate creates distinctive gifts for brands, companies and institutions looking for objects with substance, identity and purpose.

Each piece is made from reclaimed materials and designed to move beyond conventional promotional items. These are gifts people can use, keep and remember — objects that carry a story, a texture and a connection to the organisation offering them.

Gifting can be developed for events, client relations, team moments, launches, conferences or special institutional occasions.

Workshops

Creative experiences around material and transformation

ReCreate workshops invite people to explore creativity through reclaimed materials, manual practice and design thinking.

Each workshop is designed as a hands-on experience where participants discover how existing materials can be transformed through observation, experimentation and craft. The focus is not only on making an object, but also on changing the way we look at materials, waste and creative possibility.

Workshops can be adapted for companies, schools, museums, festivals, cultural programmes and community projects.

Trade

Unique design objects for shops, museums and selected retailers

ReCreate works with museum shops, concept stores and selected retailers looking for distinctive objects with a strong material identity.

Each piece is handmade from reclaimed advertising banners and other flexible materials, resulting in objects that are functional, visually expressive and genuinely unique. For shops and institutions, ReCreate offers collections with consistency, variation and a clear design language.

Trade partnerships are ideal for retailers who value contemporary craft, circular design and objects with presence.
