BERTS by BOX 9 is now B Corp Certified

-

From the beginning, our sister company @berts.co has been built on a simple premise: beautifully crafted cabins designed to connect people to nature that tread lightly on the land, in materials, in method, in the hands that make them.

Every decision has followed from that: low-impact materials, minimal disruption to the landscape, a responsible supply chain + the founding of BERTS Roots Foundation, a charity supporting wider environmental + community work.

Now, that thinking has been independently verified. BERTS began its B Corp™ journey in Autumn 2025 + has been certified with a score of 130 - well above the 80 required, placing BERTS among the highest-scoring B Corps.

A quiet validation of something we've always believed about our sister company: that beautiful design + genuine responsibility aren't in tension.

They're the same thing, done properly.

Love the way internal cladding can instantly bring warmth, texture and character to a space?

Why stop at the front door?

External cladding is the first layer of your home, setting the tone before you’ve even stepped inside. Natural texture and considered finishes can transform the exterior, creating a warm, welcoming first impression that makes coming home feel even more special.

Because good design should feel inviting from the outside in.

Materials with meaning.

Our new calling cards for sister company @berts.co have arrived - a small piece of printed matter, but one that reflects the thinking behind the wider project.

The paper stock comes from @favinipapers - who incorporate micronized almond and hazelnut shells into their paper, replacing up to 15% of virgin cellulose with agricultural waste - a considered move towards more circular production.

They were printed by Arthur at @calverts_london , our local print cooperative, whose longstanding commitment to social and environmental justice makes them a brilliant fit.

And the design comes courtesy of @_studiopasso , who translated the BERTS ethos into something restrained, elegant and quietly confident.

[ Pt 2 ]

We’re really grateful to have been invited to walk Andy Goldsworthy’s Hanging Stones trail - a quiet, immersive route that sharpens your attention and left all three of us in total awe.

We’re sharing only a few subtle, internal glimpses - and leaving the rest for whoever is lucky enough to find it.

[ Pt 1 ]

Once a year, we step away from the day-to-day to check our compass - to slow down, listen properly, and make sure BOX 9 + BERTS is being led by our principles, not simply the pace of deadlines.

It isn’t a “retreat” but a practice: realigning our shared values, naming what we’re protecting + agreeing how we want to move through the year - with care, clarity, and intention.

This time, our pause took us back to Yorkshire - exploring new opportunities for @box9design + @berts.co , and doing the quieter work too: reflecting on how we put our values into practise and how we invite calm, considered growth.

Not growth for growth’s sake, but deliberate, regenerative ambition.

In the studio, it’s often the smallest things that shape how we work.

Across both @box9design + @berts.co a pen from @tomsstudio lives on each of our desks - chosen for its weight, balance + the pleasure of using something that simply works, without the familiar irritation of pens running dry.

For us, this is about practising what we preach.

Changing ingrained habits where we can - not just through the larger decisions in our designs and specifications, but in the everyday tools we reach for without thinking. We no longer buy or throw away plastic pens. Instead, we’ve chosen to invest a little more time, care, + money up front in objects that are made to last.

They cost a little more. They take a little longer to refill. They ask for a bit of looking after. But if we can’t make these small shifts in our own daily lives, it feels hard to ask our clients to do the same on a much larger scale.

These principles sit at the heart of our work: use less, choose well, and design objects and spaces to last a lifetime - made by people who care about the impact they leave behind.

We believe it’s the small gestures, alongside the big ones, that quietly make the difference.

BERTS is back - bolder, braver, re-imagined.

A new era of beautifully crafted cabins has arrived, designed by our long-time collaborators at BOX 9.

Crafted in the UK and delivered to your door ready to go, each cabin reflects our shared commitment to considered design, enduring craftsmanship and a future-focused approach.

We’re proud to partner with BOX 9 once again, and thrilled to share that one exceptional study cabin is available now for immediate delivery.

C O R K - a quiet hero.

At BOX 9 + BERTS [ @berts.co ] cork has become one of our most defining materials - used architecturally, sustainably and sculpturally across our projects.

Every panel is positioned with care to minimise waste, and any remaining offcuts are transformed into sculptural waste balls and furniture details. Working with cork opens up remarkable possibilities - it’s lightweight, renewable, carbon-locking + thermally efficient, yet also soft, tactile and beautifully sculptural.

Our cabins are the first on the market to offer renewable cork cladding - paired with reclaimed timbers to reduce the use of virgin wood in construction. We look forward to others in the industry following suit.

In Portugal, cork oak forests are essential to the landscape - retaining water, preventing soil erosion, creating natural fire barriers + locking in carbon. Supporting the cork industry means supporting ecosystems, biodiversity + communities that care for these resilient forests.

Cork isn’t just a surface - it’s a statement of our values.

A future-facing material that connects innovation,
ecology + craft
