Waste, locked into surface.

Upcycled organic waste set into bio-resin — each mix named, catalogued, and shown as a material you can put on a table or a counter.

For a materials studio. Macros first, then the scenes the surfaces live in.

In the database

node: 091.1 · type: database · ordered slice

A short, ordered slice of the company materials database — names, swatches, HEX. Evidence that the work sits on a real catalogue, not a moodboard.

Ordered Core → Acoustic → Translucent. Not every entry; just enough to show the system.

In place

node: 091.2 · type: in place · two chapters

Two curated chapters. Cafe terrace and kitchen — the surfaces where the materials meet light, chairs and cups.

Cafe terrace

Round tables on a sunlit street. Each top is a named mix, rimmed in metal, waiting for a coffee.

  • Cafe terrace: round tables with terracotta bio-composite tops on a sunlit cobbled street.
  • Cafe terrace: mint terrazzo-style tabletops with dark inclusions, gold rims, woven chairs.
  • Cafe terrace: bright orange speckled tabletops in a row under afternoon light.
  • Cafe terrace: deep blue flecked tabletops catching sunlight on the street.
  • Cafe terrace: soft salmon tabletops with lavender stems in small glass vases.

Kitchen

Counters and sinks. Speckle under a faucet, a kitchen in use.

  • Modern kitchen: light speckled counter with a black sink and matte black faucet.
  • Kitchen counter close-up: beige bio-composite surface beside a chrome faucet.
  • Kitchen lifestyle: lemons, herbs and bread on a thick speckled integrated counter.
  • Full kitchen run: speckled counter with cooktop, sink and dark cabinets below.

How the images were made

node: 091.3 · type: method · macros → scenes

Macros first → scene briefs → application shots. The AI set sits next to the real kit.

  1. node: macro

    Macros

    Named close-ups of each mix: particle, binder, depth.

  2. node: brief

    Scene briefs

    A kitchen counter, a terrace row — the brief locks light and angle before the wide shot.

  3. node: application

    Application shots

    The material in place: tables, counters, rooms.

  • Macro close-up of Nutty: dark crushed organic particles locked in resin.

  • Macro close-up of Tomato Jam: warm terracotta flecks in a translucent binder.

  • Scene brief: a modern kitchen counter with an inset sink, material applied in context.

Physical swatch kit on a cafe table: open box of blue samples, loose pink and orange tiles, a small plant.

The physical kit

Real swatches on a real table — the AI set sits next to this.

Catalogue from the database, pictures from the brief: one material, two kinds of evidence.
