We are delighted to announce that makers Flod and Christoph Kurzmann will be ‘In the Window’ for the month of April , to celebrate World Earth Day on 22nd April 2025.
Based in Sheffield, Flod make plant pots with glass and plastic taken from rivers around Sheffield with the help from local charities and members of the community. We use an ecofriendly alternative to concrete called Jesmonite which we pair with the broken glass for the top half of the pot.
Christoph Kurzmann is an Oxford-based furniture designer and maker, focuses on imaginative and functional furniture designs through material reuse. Through his work, highlights the potential for ‘upscaling upcycling’ through collaborations between waste creators and designers, reworking waste into useful modern furniture designs.
Christoph aims to reduce waste by keeping materials circulating, therefore extending their lifecycle and reducing the need for raw materials. His work is a direct response to the wasteful industry of corporate furniture where refurbishment projects lead to tonnes of identical pieces ending in landfill.
Bluecoat Display Centre has been awarded funding by the Ulrike Michal Foundation for the Arts to enable this window installation.
