Future Makers

Change your perspective on
plastic recycling

Imagine your single-use plastic transformed into beautiful, lasting assets that enrich your spaces and communities.

At Future Makers, we design and rework plastic and technical textile materials through a visible, in-studio process.

Explore our products and projects below and see how your materials can become something extraordinary!

Reworking Inflatable Materials

We work with inflatable and technical textile materials from events, installations and production environments.

Through design, prototyping and in-studio development, we transform existing material streams into new products and systems.

Lady Godiva Installation

A large scale sculptural work by Sarah Turner, developed using reclaimed plastic materials.

Created through CNC cutting, assembly and material-led fabrication.

Installed at Coventry Building Society’s wildflower meadow.

The project explores how reclaimed materials can be reworked into public sculptural form.

Working with Materials

We work with plastic and technical textile materials from industry, events and production.

We develop sheet material through design and prototyping to support products, structures and installations.

Our work develops new approaches to material use and long-term value, including the Plastic Revolution, an initiative focused on changing perceptions and behaviours around plastic.
