Timber Terrazzo by Foresso

Combining timber off-cuts with a thoroughly environmental approach to fabrication, Foresso’s Timber Terrazzo is a ground-breaking product moving in the right direction.

The ground-breaking work of Ty Syml

Welsh-based experimental design studio Tŷ Syml is proving what’s possible through material research and product design. Borne from a university thesis, the trio behind the studio are creating a new generation of products that are embedded with a cradle-to-cradle philosophy. And only a few years off the ground, the studio is now consulting with cities on how to be more sustainable. Here they share their design thinking and why an experimental approach is key.
