Aaron and Will started this journey around 6 months ago, after moving to Glasgow, where they started Still Life. They are both painters originally, interested in colour and form, a passion that feeds perfectly with their explorations with new materials.

They have been designing and making wooden furniture together for nearly 2 years, and now they started the solid pursuit of sustainable, recycled materials. Still Life main goal is to eventually create furniture and furnishings made from 100% recycled materials in order to spread the word and get people talking about environmental issues. With their work, they are aiming to reduce the amount of material going into landfill and ending up in the ocean. Keep it up, guys!

Aaron and Will main struggle is to get a consistent finish throughout the plastic. They also want to create thicker plastic sheets to begin with, and reduce discolouration of some plastics after melting. They also have some problems with funding! (I think I’ve heard that somewhere…🙃) They are not giving up any soon though – with many applications for funding at different institutions.

Still Life has a little message for the community, “Spread the word! We hope to inspire more people to start making things from waste materials and come up with innovative ways to look after our beautiful planet.”
