collaborations
We’ve collaborated with designers, engineers and thought-provoking brands. All with one aim: to reduce our collective impact on the planet, and create something meaningful.
We worked with Paul Smith, on a limited collection of power banks and speakers, featuring their signature Stripe.
Working closely with the Paul Smith design team, and we created samples and iterated until we got a one-of-a-kind surface pattern - all handmade from recycled waste plastic material (including some of Paul Smith’s offcuts)
Every object in this collection was a real labour of love by our studio team in Brighton and we couldn't be happier with the result. We also filmed, edited and launched a film to promote the project on Paul Smith’s social media.

The British Independent Film Awards celebrate the most creative and innovative film-makers and actors in the UK. To award such talent, BIFA were looking for a trophy befitting the forward-thinking nature of British independent film. We joined forces with the sculptural artist Arran Gregory to create a trophy made from 1kg of waste plastic, hand-marbled and finished in our Brighton studio. We’re proud to say our trophies have been in the hands of stars such as Riz Ahmed, Florence Pugh and Paul Mescal. But the best thing of all? Every trophy is made from plastics that would have ended up in landfill.
Vans reached out to us to design their signature checkerboard onto a limited edition collection of Power Banks and Speakers.
The collaboration was one part of the launch celebrations around the new Vans store in London’s West End - and is only available to order for collection at the London store. Part of the brief was also making a film which could be used across socials to promote the launch.

POWER BANK POUCHES from courier uniforms
In collaboration with University of Brighton Industrial Design graduate Angus Clifford, we created a limited collection of power bank pouches made from waste courier uniforms, which are often non-recyclable and contribute to landfill waste. This unique collection features 10 handmade pieces that showcase the creative potential of these discarded materials. The collaboration started after co-founder Tom Meades tutored Angus Clifford during his final year, and was impressed with his final project.
GOODHOOD
We partnered with Goodhood to turn their used mailing bags and carriers into a limited edition range of Bluetooth speakers and power banks. By collecting plastic waste from their store and warehouse, we moulded it into unique tech featuring black and white prints with embedded Goodhood branding, ensuring that each piece is one-of-a-kind.
CHILLY'S
In collaboration with Chilly's, we transformed waste the old Chilly’s coffee cup lids they provided by melting and marbling them into a unique collection.
Since both of us share a strong commitment to sustainability, this project was especially meaningful.
We shot, edited and launched a process video around making the Power Banks, which was launched as a collaboration reel on socials.
The collection sold out in under 12 hours.
SMILEY CHARITY
We’ve been working with Smiley Charity Film Awards since 2023, making them custom trophies in their signature yellow/black colourway.
They needed a quick turnaround to manufacture so we didn’t have time to manufacture a custom mould, so instead we handmade the trophies from a solid block of material.
This year we’re working with them on a new design, with more time to manufacture a custom aluminium mould.
ANTLER
We partnered with Antler on a collection of Speakers and Power Banks made from recycled waste plastic.
Inspired by their signature green and orange branding, we created a custom marbling pattern for this collaboration.
We also made custom label designs which we applied to the packaging.
STORY MFG
We partnered with our friends from Story Mfg to create the “Gingham” portable speaker, inspired by their signature Gingham patterns. Their commitment to sustainable design, from organic materials to natural dyes, has always inspired us, and it’s been a privilege to collaborate on this limited edition speaker.
We launched the collection with an event in Brighton at the Story mfg store.
