Product Partner
Morph® is a unique modular furniture and fit-out system. Using a brick formation, hollow single and double Morph bricks interlock to create multiple designs for both commercial and residential projects. From outdoor furniture to tiered seating, divider walls and freestanding rooms, exhibition stands and stages, the product options are endless. This award winning novel circular economy solution is available in 100% recycled plastic and carbon-negative Bio composite. Each design can be built to specification, every product can be deconstructed to a new design without waste and every brick is 100% recyclable.
This year at Grand Designs Live, Morph Bricks Ltd will be constructing the Sustainable Future Theatre using their latest eco product Morph Bio, made from Bio composite material. Biocomposites capture and store carbon in the bioplastic and wood fibres of the material, helping reduce carbon footprints. The tailored design creates a stunning 6m wide by 2.5m tall backdrop to the Theatre. Using Bio bricks the structure incorporates a flat central wall with integrated signwriting in off-white. The wall extends out either side in a bespoke staggered pattern giving depth and the sense of a curved wall. The bricks will be delivered in easy to handle boxes and the multidimensional design will be easily built onsite without tools or mess. Morph Bricks will also use Morph to create signage stands for the Sustainable Future Theatre, and a variety of plinths for Kevin’s Green Heroes showcasing Kevin McCloud’s personally selected top heroes for the show.
