Uniform disks of wood and foam, stacked into a simple geometry, the layers left exposed. Pipe Dreams, by Douglas & Company, takes the way a CLT panel is made and turns it into furniture – a daybed, a bench and an ottoman, all built from surplus materials.

Designed by Ferma Studio and ReCraft Design Studio – these light pair a reclaimed concrete core sample with a lampshade of bacterial cellulose, grown through kombucha fermentation until it turns soft and semi-translucent.
