Heron
Made from: White Goods
With layered feathery soft grey tones, a smattering of yellow hues, warm ochre flecks, black and blizzard white, it’s hard to imagine that Heron came from humble beginnings. But, in fact, it was created from the staple kitchen fixtures we use every day.
Would-be discarded white goods make up the foundations of the Heron mix, bringing a unique aesthetic and colour palette that is less reminiscent of its original material make-up and more alike the appearance of the statuesque bird after which it was named.
Available in thicknesses of 12mm and 20mm.

How it’s made
From sourcing and sorting raw materials to forming panels and finishes, every step is carefully considered, and often done by hand. We work with a range of waste streams, with a particular focus on plastics due to their environmental impact.
Our factory setup is intentionally low-impact, using a fraction of the energy required by conventional plastics machinery, and we prioritise local suppliers wherever we can. We produce a core range of large-format panels and collaborate closely with clients on custom aesthetics or performance needs. Behind the scenes, we’re always experimenting; pushing boundaries with new materials and methods to expand what’s possible in circular design.
