In 'Circular', Daniel Boddam’s furniture pieces explore the transformational potential of waste materials gleaned from construction sites and the fashion industry. Boddam finds beauty in the remnants, repurposing them into refined sculptural and functional objects. In turn, he challenges the production norms of luxury commodities and where we find and attribute “value”. The exhibition features three new limited-edition pieces, including a collaboration with artist Jessie French and artworks by Jamie North (The Renshaws).

Boddam has long been inspired by the forms and processes of nature and was inevitably drawn to Jessie French’s innovative work with renewable marine algae, and her unwavering commitment to circular and renewable processes. For the limited edition Puddle Table, Boddam drew direct inspiration from the water-based process French has developed in her painterly transmutation of algae. French’s luminous poured surface is held under glass and set within a refined curvilinear form made from recycled aluminium. The final effect is like looking across a puddle of water – its colourful, translucent surface flowing in arrested motion.

This collaborative piece sits alongside Daniel Boddam Studio’s signature Wave Sofa, reimagined in salvaged surplus textiles to champion principles of a circular economy. While the Pebble Dining Table and Hall Stand gives new life to reclaimed Oregon boards – a depleted material once favoured in construction.

The exhibition also features the work of artist Jamie North (The Renshaws) whose sculptural forms, often made from industrial waste, become a habitat for native plants and organic matter.

Together, the works in 'Circular' find their form in the discards (circling back) or renewable materials (circling forward), offering a unique commentary on the impact of design and matter.
