Nothing new to see here
ReFactory transforms waste into high-quality furniture, objects and installations.
From metal to wood, plastic to textiles, we give discarded materials a next life – where what's been thrown away can become the most meaningful story in the room.

Break it down
Waste materials and items are recovered and dismantled. Former products and parts become components ready to use again.
Think again
Our designers and makers let each material’s shape, strength and texture inform new ideas for reuse.
Make it matter
Through skilled craft from joinery to stitching, materials are transformed into enduring, functional creations.
Put it to work
Finished products carry purpose and provenance, ready to tell new stories of regeneration and sustainability.

A new way to make, a better way to live
Every ton of steel reused saves over 3.5 tons of overproduction – CO₂ and raw materials, no longer needed
6 billion kg of waste diverted from landfill – every gramof plastic, metal, wood and textiles waste put back to work
Advocates of the UK’s leading waste and reuse NGO Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP)
15 million used beauty and cosmetic items remanufactured from lipstick tubes to fragrance bottles, their materials live on
Drawing from up to 800k tons of processed waste, annually – close to the weight of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge in raw potential
Where the material meets the method
Our craft begins where others stop — with waste. Designers and makers work with reclaimed materials as artisans work with walnut or marble.
Working with those who get it. Our clients aren’t passive buyers, but partners in change.
Brands
Brands looking to reuse their own waste in visible, powerful ways, from point-of-sale fittings to new product lines.
Businesses
Those keen to create statements in their spaces, from atriums and boardrooms, to conferences and events.
Institutions
Cultural spaces and galleries seeking work that challenges convention, where waste becomes the lens for culture.
Individuals
Visionaries commissioning one-of-a-kind pieces with personal resonance, where material provenance trumps all.
A new industry begins here
Everything we make starts with materials the world wants to forget. What society and industry call waste is not the end game, but the start of our design journey.
Wood
All grades and conditions of wood, from furniture and fixtures to construction timber, shipping pallets and crates.
Metal
Ferrous and non-ferrous metals from construction, engineering and end-of-life products, whether cuttings or components.
Textiles
Consumer and industrial fabrics, including returned products and reclaimed soft materials, from returned rugs to damaged seating.
Plastic
Post-consumer plastics, from used products, returns or everyday packaging, to heavily degraded ocean waste.
Turn waste into worth
Through skilled craft from joinery to stitching, materials are transformed into enduring, functional creations.
