Our work begins on the factory floor. The materials come from our manufacturing partners: offcuts, rejected batches, surplus stock, leftover formats. Each carries specifications, properties and dimensions that already exist before any drawing is made. We design around them. The result is a catalogue of furniture and lighting made for serial production and specified into hospitality and interior projects across Europe.

Alongside the catalogue, OFFSITE develops custom spatial work for cultural, fashion and retail brands. These projects use the waste streams of the brand itself, or those of our manufacturing partners. Each is bespoke, designed for a specific space and a specific moment.

Sustainability is part of how we work, but it is not the subject of our work. The subject is the relationship between material, manufacturer and form. Starting from what already exists allows OFFSITE to develop closer working relationships with European industry than a conventional design practice can, and produces objects that are sharper for the constraints they were made within.

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.

OFFSITE is led by Joris Wintgens.
