Whitburn Studio

Furniture made from the offcuts of surfboard building.

Tables and useful accessories made from fibreglass offcuts, excess resin and leftover workshop material.

The awkward bits still have a job.

Surfboard building leaves behind fibreglass offcuts, resin, foam and other material that is not always easy to reuse. Some of it can be recycled. Some of it can't. Furniture and useful accessories keep more of that material in use.

The pattern, colour and texture come from the material itself, so no two pieces land the same way.

Table material

Each round table uses roughly 15 surfboards' worth of fibreglass offcuts, locking that workshop waste into something useful instead of sending it to landfill.

Tables for cafes, studios and unusual spaces.

Whitburn has been making small round tables for cafes, studios and spaces that need a useful object with a visible material story. The form is simple, so the surface can do the talking: resin flow, fibre texture, colour from previous work and the irregular marks that come from building with leftovers.

Green, black and white round studio table made from workshop offcuts.

Green studio table

A lighter round table with green, black, white and warm edge tones. More playful, still built from the same workshop leftovers.

Made from reclaimed fibreglass and resin.

Black and white resin table

A dark round table with white resin movement across the surface and visible fibreglass texture in the finish.

Made using fibreglass offcuts from surfboard work.

Useful accessories from the same material stream.

The smaller pieces come from the same thinking. If a material is too good to bin, it gets another job. These wine stoppers use leftover resin, fibreglass and workshop material where possible.

Patterns you can't repeat.

The surface is not printed. It comes from the offcuts, resin movement and the way the material settles. Some pieces are quiet. Some are louder. The point is that the waste stays visible.

The offcuts, resin and fibre decide the surface. No print, no repeat.

Ask about a table or useful accessory.

Tables and larger runs are best discussed first, especially if you want a particular colour direction, a set of pieces or something for a commercial space.

Tell James what you are looking for, where it will live and whether it is a single piece, a small run or something for a cafe, studio or interior project.
