‘Re-Made in Park Royal’ is a celebration of Park Royal's circular economy - featuring an exhibition of work by local artists and makers who have sourced their materials from the area’s industrial waste and discarded materials.

We believe that Park Royal - London’s largest industrial estate - should be a leader in sustainable and circular design. The proximity of artists and designers, alongside incredibly diverse and plentiful waste streams, provides a unique opportunity to forge new partnerships between the creative and industrial sectors on a big scale.

Discover how innovative local makers have made products from discarded coffee cups, tyres, shredded paper, leather offcuts, marble, rugs, denim offcuts, burlap and more.

Exhibitors include:

Absolute Beginners - a new factory for Park Royal Industrial Estate where young people can learn how to make the basic goods that were once produced here – and which we might need to make again in the uncertain economies of our future.

Aaron Pereira - local carpenter and producer of The Park Bench Project.

Bahbak Hashemi-Nehzad - award-winning designer, researcher and educator with a focus on co-design and social design.

Bill Chieb - exhibiting a 1976 Corvette restomod, built using 3 different recycled cars (1968 rear end, 2001-2008 engine, running gear and hybrid chassis). The engine has been upgraded to meet ULEZ emission standards. A project in progress where vintage meets modern… is a new electric car used everyday as beautiful as a restored old car used only occasionally?

Blast Studio - Inspired by natural ecosystems, Blast Studio created a cycle where urban waste is transformed thanks to fungi and new technology into unique living structures.

BY.WUZZY - an eco-conscious and sustainable denim brand focused on reworking vintage Levi’s to create bespoke pieces and accessories.

DandyDSGN - Visual Art and Vintage Furniture meet and eventually merge in a mutual, surprising exchange.

Echo - Echo is a locally-funded skills and resource sharing platform where you can swap what you need with your neighbours. Businesses and artists can exchange waste resources via their website: www.economyofhours.com.

Helena Elston - a mixed media designer, alchemist, material researcher and story-teller driven by the connection of textile, narrative, ecology and body. Her work integrates techniques such as stitch, garment construction, photography, mark-making, natural growth/decay and poetry. She investigates circular design through a regenerative approach to fashion.

Rafael el Baz - a London born and based multidisciplinary designer whose work seeks to engage with the past whilst telling the story of our future through people, place, material and object. Rafael will be presenting a series of preloved rugs updated and repaired in a new and unique way.
