Furniture for public spaces

With sustainability high on the agenda, architects and designers are choosing to use our repurposed hardwoods in public places.

Reusing felled urban trees demonstrates circular economy principles and a commitment to sustainability in design. We have considerable experience working in partnership with design teams and delivering bespoke projects.

We've outlined some of our work below. 

City of London

Wooden backrests in a new sustainable public garden in the City of London.

Working with architects Scott Whitby Studio and the City of London, we milled and hand-crafted five chunky backrests from plane trees felled in London.

The New Change Garden was designed around circular economy principles, reusing materials and with local wildlife in mind.

We helped furniture designer Sebastian Cox source fallen London trees to make furniture and wall panelling for the Lea Bridge library extension in East London.

We milled and seasoned over 10 species of timber from a wide variety of local species including oak, ash, sycamore, sequoia and London plane. Image credit: Jim Stephenson

EC Business Improvement District

Seating clusters installed across 11 sites in the City of London.

We worked with architects Butler Wiltshire to make and install 50 timber seat tops from a wide range of felled London trees.

The project was delivered by the City of London Corporation in partnership with the East City Business Improvement District.

Feilden Clegg Bradley

Top UK architectural firm Feilden Clegg Bradley selected Fallen & Felled as its exhibition partner.

A long standing sustainability pioneer, FCBStudios wanted to showcase materials in their exhibition about sustainability in architecture and chose two circular economy pioneers - us and Smile Plastics.

Trees felled to make way for affordable housing find a second life as community benches.

We worked with Barnet Homes on the Fosters Estate in Hendon London to remove trees and turn them into nine temporary 'seasoning benches'.
