This year at @lakecomodesignfestival , we respond to the theme Fragments — challenging uniformity and celebrating the poetic potential of the fragment as a foundation for new forms of expression. This collaboration explores fragmentation as transformation—combining Oyster[Crete]® with reclaimed metal to create tactile objects rooted in material memory. Together, @atelier.wama and Matter Forms present a collection that highlights the beauty of imperfection, resilience, and the enduring aesthetic features of reclaimed materials that are often overlooked. #lakecomodesignfestival2025 #lcdf25

A quiet celebration of craft and material poetry. Honoured to be part of this intimate literary exhibition in Edinburgh, presented in collaboration with @doyenne.studio Our Oyster[Crete]® tray and cutlery pieces — sit gently among stories of memory, and making. Each piece shaped by waste, reclaimed beauty, and the quiet strength of the hands that form it.

Feminine Literacy A design exhibition by @doyenne.studio Oyster[Crete]®: Metamorphosis by Matter Forms @matter.forms Oyster[Crete]® is a bio-alternative to traditional concrete made from recycled oyster shells. The tray is crafted from locally discarded oyster shells sourced from seafood restaurants in East London, the tray embraces circularity from conception to materiality. More than just a functional object, the Oyster[Crete]® tray subtly reflects its origins, embodying the rock pools where the material can be found in nature. Showing at Custom Lane @custom_lane 8th Nov - 7th Dec

Tottenham Pavilion designed for @londonfestivalofarchitecture in collaboration with Daniel Widrig, @hhhy.z , Zinze Zhan #archive A community-built pavilion made from locally sourced waste + @oystercrete and found objects, empowering residents of Harringay Warehouse District to take part in shaping their environment. As the material weathers over time, hidden memories and stories of the neighbourhood are revealed. #TottenhamPavilion #LondonFestivalOfArchitecture #CommunityDesign #MaterialInnovation #CircularDesign #PublicArt #CoCreation #UrbanRegeneration #OysterCrete #MatterForms #HarringayWarehouseDistrict #DesignForCommunity #SustainableArchitecture

Fragment TB_00 Dimension: 240cmx90cmx75cm Material: @oystercrete mix 2.0 + metal offcuts Inspired by natural typologies, the work reinterprets everyday forms through unfinished contours and layered textures. Traces of erosion, sediment, and time remain visible, honouring each material’s origin while preserving its inherent character. By working directly with their physical properties, the design resists industrial uniformity, allowing every outcome to remain singular and irreproducible.
