Full Circle Design
From old homes to new furniture
Full Circle Design is our closed-loop approach to furniture making - reclaiming timber from existing homes and buildings and transforming it into custom furniture for new spaces.
This process preserves material, reduces waste, and allows meaning to carry forward rather than being lost.
Why Full Circle Design matters
When a home is demolished, valuable timber is often sent to landfill despite having decades of life left. Full Circle Design changes that.
By working closely with homeowners, architects, and builders, we identify, reclaim, and repurpose timber into furniture that continues the story of the place it came from.
How it works (high-level)
-
Timber is identified before demolition
-
Material is carefully reclaimed and stored
-
Furniture is designed around what exists
-
The timber returns in a new form
This is not a shortcut. It’s a commitment.
Retain your timber
Full Circle Design is the process of making custom furniture for your new home using reclaimed timber salvaged from your old one.
Change Its Story
The home this table once lived in no longer stands - but its timber now gathers family around a dining table.
Carry It Forward
Instead of landfill, the story continues - reshaped, refined, and ready for its next chapter.
Use What Exists
We work with timber that has already lived a life - honouring its past while shaping its future.
Keep What Matters
Not everything from a home needs to disappear. Some pieces deserve to stay.
