RECREATE TRANSFORMS EXISTING MATERIALS INTO DESIGN OBJECTS, LIMITED SERIES AND CREATIVE EXPERIENCES FOR BRANDS, INSTITUTIONS AND TEAMS.
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 existing materials into objects with continuity, presence and use. We can work with materials provided by the client, studying their technical behaviour and visual potential, or use ReCreate’s own selection of reclaimed advertising banners and technical textiles when no specific material is available.
Projects may be developed from existing ReCreate models or through a more specific design process, depending on the material, quantity and final purpose.
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.
For project enquiries and quotes, please contact the studio.
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.
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.
Every ReCreate project begins with material, context and intention — discover how our design process gives form to what already exists.

"Everything begins with the material. Its texture, structure, resistance, marks and visual presence shape the starting point. We work from what already exists, allowing the material to inform the process and take part in the making of each piece." find more about our mission
