Interior materials made in London from London’s discarded coffee cups and paper ♻️

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

From coffee cup to table top ☕️

We’ve been exploring Cupsan panels by @blast.studio, made from discarded coffee cups collected across London and transformed into beautiful interiors surfaces.

As we continue to look for more sustainable material options for future projects, it’s great to discover innovations that give everyday waste a second life without compromising on design.

@carbon_cell_co and @blast.studio #spotted at @shoreditchdesignweek @materialmatters.design, showcasing the future of sustainable materials, furniture, finishes and technology.

⬛ Carbon Cell has developed a plastic-free foam made with carbon-negative biochar, offering an alternative to conventional polymer-based foams. See prototypes, including plant pots, packaging and acoustic solutions 🫧

Carbon Cell were finalists in WE Innovate 2023, joined Imperial Venture Mentoring in 2024 and are currently supported by our EarthScale programme.

☕ Blast Studio is rethinking one of London’s most overlooked waste streams - discarded paper coffee cups - transforming them into Cupsan. Speak to the team about the high-performance interior material used for furniture, wall panelling and bespoke fit-outs. ♻️

Blast Studio are currently on our EarthScale programme.

We’re so proud to be celebrating innovation, craftsmanship and circular thinking - come say hi to Carbon Cell and Blast Studio exhibiting today until 6pm 👋

Kicking off our week with exciting news… CircKit has been selected for EarthScale’s second cohort! 🎉

Over the next 12 months, we’ll be working with EarthScale and a network of incredible university partners to push our circular fashion mission further than ever. ♻️

We’re joining 13 other UK climate tech companies on this journey and can’t wait to learn and grow alongside them.

Let’s get to work. 💛

Coffee cups, given a second life. ☕♻️

Developed by Blast Studio in London, Cupsan transforms discarded takeaway coffee cups into durable biomaterial boards for interiors and furniture,

Each square metre contains approximately 840 coffee cups, turning a short-lived waste stream into a long-lasting material resource.

With the warmth of wood, the texture of stone, and the workability of MDF, Cupsan demonstrates how waste can be transformed into a material designed to endure.

📍Discover Cupsan at Colab's Material Library in Dubai Design District.

Positive Impact: Reflections for 2025 and beyond

As we close one year and welcome another, we turned to the designers, architects and makers who have shaped our pages in 2025, asking them to reflect on defining industry changes and to speculate what brighter possibilities could be on the horizon.

See their favourite industry achievements and hopes for the year ahead at the link in bio🔗

A wonderful evening with @tate Patrons

On Tuesday we welcomed Platinum & Gold Patrons to One Triton Square for a behind-the-scenes tour of the building’s new, permanent arts programme - curated by New Public.

Guiding guests through the commissions, we explored how art, science and craftsmanship come together across the Ground, 1st and 6th floors.

Thank you to @BritishLandPLC team for hosting, @Tate Patrons team for including us in their patrons events programme, Royal London Asset Management for their partnership, and to Jonathan Burton @cockpitstudios for joining us and championing the makers and artists. And of course, to the artists who came along and shared their stories and practice - your presence brought the works to life!

A special evening celebrating creativity, collaboration and the cultural spirit of London’s Knowledge Quarter.

Meet The Artist: @Blast.Studio for One Triton Square, commissioned by @BritishLandplc & Royal London Asset Management

Blast Studio is a London-based practice founded in 2018 by Paola Garnousset, Martin Detoeuf and Pierre de Pingon. The studio transforms urban waste into innovative biomaterials, furniture and architectural forms, blending nature, technology and design. From working with mycelium to developing Cupsan - a sustainable material made from discarded coffee cups - their work bridges research, craft and production. Accolades include the French Académie des Beaux-Arts’ Prix d'Encouragement en Architecture (2020), New Talent at the Surface Design Show (2022), @LoeweFoundation Craft Prize finalist (2022) and @HouseandGardenuk Rising Stars of Design (2023).

NeoTrees series, 2025

Created for One Triton Square, the works combine generative algorithms, 3D printing and mycelium cultivation. Using a substrate made from recycled coffee cups collected on site, each piece is printed, inoculated with mycelium and grown into organic structures before being dried.

The forms balance digital intention with biological unpredictability, intricate, tactile sculptures shaped by both algorithm and organism. Together they imagine a future where architecture works with living systems, not against them.

New Public Curates: a permanent site-specific art programme for One Triton Square at @regentsplace, London’s Newest Hub for Innovation and Culture

Commissioned by @britishlandplc & Royal London Asset Management, curated by @newpublicprojects.

Right in the centre of the Knowledge Quarter, surrounded by world-leading thinkers, makers, researchers and cultural institutions such as @thefranciscrickinstitute, @wellcometrust and @ucl, One Triton Square is imagined as a launchpad for the industries of tomorrow. A building where art, science and technology meet.

We curated 10 artists and 25 artworks across the ground, first and sixth floors, creating a cultural layer woven into the fabric of the building. Together, the works explore networks, nature, innovation, data, materiality and the interconnected worlds of scientific and artistic discovery.

A major new commission by @anickayi_studio (and her first permanent work in the UK) anchors the ground floor. She’s joined by brilliant artists from @cockpitstudios and @blast.studio, each bringing their own artistry, research and craft to the space.

The result is a building with its own distinctive identity, one that sparks curiosity, enriches the workplace and mirrors the spirit of collaboration.

Huge thanks to the incredible artists, our clients and partners on this project: @britishlandplc, @Britishland.workspace, Royal London Asset Management, @KateBryan_art @CockpitStudios, @ThisIsStorey, @anickayi_studio @blast.studio @inthegrainn @majeda_clarke @richardmcvetis @eleanorlakelin @tamsinvanessen @helenjohceramics @saradoddceramics @hmsear

Dezeen Awards (@dezeenawards_) is an annual programme celebrating the world’s most compelling work in architecture, interiors, design and sustainability, along with the studios and practitioners behind it.

As the year draws to a close, we’re starting to look back at how design and architecture are being reimagined in 2025. From this year’s shortlist, we’ve selected nine projects that each frame innovation in their own way – through technology and scientific research, social and urban impact, sustainability and environmental care or even emotional experience.
