Dialogue Box explores the transformative potential of everyday materials through the upcycling of a discarded cardboard box. Once a vessel for commerce and consumption, the box is deconstructed, reshaped and reimagined into an abstract composition and challenges our perception of waste and value. The raw textures, creases and imprints of its former function are preserved and celebrated in its renewal. By giving new life to a material often overlooked we ask the question can we reconsider our relationships with objects we consume and discard.

We consider all our materials carefully as we try to be as environmentally conscious as possible to create our contemporary homeware. All cards printed from an original collage lovingly assembled from discarded cardboard packaging.

We’re proud to be reaching thoughtful individuals, shops, galleries and museums.
Our work celebrates reuse, craftsmanship, and quiet joy - and we love working with people who share those values.

Workings in progress

We are continuously developing ideas, processes and techniques. Over the past few months we have been experimenting with making our own paper and paper pulp recipe, made from papers donated from art venues, creating imagery with a variety of reclaimed papers from various sources. We are happy to discuss the work shown in this collection for a potential commission, collaboration or sale.
