In the second of this four-part series, we shine a spotlight on our favourite homegrown partner brands that encompass the festive spirit of A Gathering of Everything Good — our special take on the holiday season, and the joyous collaborations it brings.

Esli, Co-Founder of Offcut Factory, tells us about how and why the brand aims to transform factory offcuts into functional lifestyle objects and materials, all the while staying true to its embodying philosophy that offcuts have an intricate beauty of their own.

Offcut Factory believes in the idea of having beautiful materials for everyone, no matter where they come from. Collaborating with factories who inevitably produce “waste” in the process of manufacturing, the brand obtains these discarded offcuts and processes them into refreshed materials with a new life, even offering a range of artisanal stationery in uniquely innovative designs.

Describe your company in 3 words.

Empathetic, collaborative, and honest.

What comes to mind when you think of Christmas, New Year's or otherwise festive seasons?

Truthfully, I didn’t think about this much in the past. But ever since the founding of Offcut Factory [WHEN?], the festive season means waste season. Just from Christmas 2021 alone, we collected a staggering 4.5 tonnes of festive decorations and fittings, of which only 1.7 tonnes breathed an extension to life. Now, festive periods mean an ample opportunity to create good work and design for more conscious, waste-less gifting. Work aside, this time of the year is one that I look forward to spending a valuable amount of time with family, loved ones and not forgetting the always important - food!

Share what sustainability means to you?

We can all make a difference to our planet, no matter big or small our actions are. That’s why we’ve made it such that anyone who picks up a home and living essential with us are automatically supporting low-waste packaging, a recyclable or up-cyclable product life cycle, and our NGO partner the Eden Reforestation Projects!

Briefly describe how your products uplift, empower, and spark joy to customers and communities?

At Offcut Factory, our products are designed to embody the spirit of sustainability by staying as honest as possible to the material used. Each piece is made with as little carbon and waste produced - this comes in ways such as minimal transportation and unnecessary processes to the maximised use of the materials. With these principles in place, we believe that it can be encountered when customers and communities interact with our products. Encouraging the lifestyle and conversations of living sustainably and more importantly, being more aware of actions that could be counter-sustainable.
