Matter of Stuff, the leading design and manufacturing consultancy, presents A Second Life exhibition at sketch.

Matter of Stuff, the leading design and manufacturing consultancy, presents A Second Life exhibition at sketch for London Design Festival 2019, showcasing a newly commissioned body of work made from a single raw material.

Hosted by sketch, the iconic artist-conceived food and drinks destination in London’s Mayfair, the exhibition will run until Thursday 7 November 2019.

PiM.studio Architects, Brodie Neill, Matteo Fogale + Emma Archer and Studio Furthermore have transformed hundreds of wooden dowels used for the scenography of Matter of Stuff’s 2018 LDF exhibition into an array of experimental new works.

By injecting new life into waste material to create varied and extraordinary sculptures for an iconic London venue, we want to make a statement that goes beyond the importance of sustainable design practices - Matter of Stuff co- founder, Simona Auteri.

Instead of recycling the dowels through mulching, the gallery asked the designers to reinterpret, explore and experiment with the material to create new designs while maintaining some of the structural integrity of the original installation. The result is a resolute and ongoing statement about the infinite possibilities of sustainable design, upcycling and waste avoidance.

Proceeds from the sale of the design pieces will be donated to charities protecting the Amazon Rainforests.
