Offsite is a designlabel dedicated to transforming discarded materials into meaningful objects.
We design furniture and objects using waste materials from factories, construction and production environments. Every design begins with the material. It's form is a response, shaped by constraint, availability and intent.
Working with reclaimed material means designing within limits. We don’t control what comes in. Size, quantity and composition may vary. Designing within these boundaries leads to forms that are honest, unexpected and often smarter. We aim to build a design practice that’s repeatable, scalable and grounded in the real world.
Collaboration
Collaboration sits at the centre of Offsite. We work with designers when a material calls for a specific eye, and we work with manufacturers because that is where we can test, iterate and produce with consistency. Our role is often to translate between those worlds, mapping a waste stream into a product logic that can be repeated without losing character.
R/V Ratio
Sometimes, new components are needed for structure, precision or durability. That’s why we use our "R/V Ratio": a transparent measurement of how much reclaimed vs. virgin material is used in each product, by weight.
Industry
We work with industrial partners to find materials and to produce, keeping the process close to the source. Alongside products, we also take on projects, and we advise companies on how to move from a waste stream to a usable product direction, from first experiments to concrete applications.
Products
From a single waste stream, we build furniture and objects that can be made again. We work in small and larger series, and sometimes in limited editions when the material is rare or finite. Repeatable design is the goal, so we look for streams with enough consistency to support a clear product logic.
Some designs are made in house, others are developed with designers we invite in.
Projects
When the context is specific, we work as a project studio. We develop custom pieces and spatial work for interiors, exhibitions and site specific settings, often using what is available locally or what a partner can provide within a timeframe.
Projects let us test ideas at scale, build installations, prototype new constructions and see how reclaimed materials behave within this context.
Consulting
For companies with waste streams, we offer a practical consulting track. We help teams read their material more strategically: what is actually valuable, what is consistently available, what constraints matter and which applications fit those constraints.
This can include material mapping, early concept directions, feasibility checks and guidance toward production partners.
