Adaptive Reuse

for businesses

Christoph Studio works with architects, interior designers, and businesses to transform outdated, surplus, or unwanted wooden interiors into stylish, contemporary furniture.

Tell your circular story with reuse

Reimaging your old

250 disused student beds…

into brand new.

… reused to create new stools.

Material

From floorboards to office desks, almost any wooden interior element can be reshaped and reused to create something new, unique, and full of character.

Make

From one-offs to small batch runs, my Oxford workshop is fully equipped for precise joinery, accurate cutting, and made-to-measure craftsmanship at various scales.

Design

Whether you have a clear idea or a blank canvas, I develop inspiring reuse concepts, turning existing materials into thoughtful prototypes and pieces with a second life..

Share

Reuse tells a story. Sharing it adds value, sparks curiosity, and inspires others to see potential in the overlooked.

Removal

Partnering with local removal companies helps me provide a smoother, all-in-one solution for office clearances.

Count

Reuse reduces environmental impact and contributes to sustainability targets recognised by BREEAM, LEED, and other leading certification schemes.

“An amazing transformation from our old student beds to new stools for the campus.”

- Peter Thompson, Oxford Brookes, Head of Space Planning

Gather+Gather: Stacking Chairs for UCL East cafe (soon)

Christoph Studio highlighted the 'art of the possible' in reusing waste materials to create our trophies. Working collaboratively with SDC co-founder, Harsha Kotak, Christoph demonstrated his creativity and attention to detail. The end result was a standout example of the opportunities for supposedly waste materials. Working to a tight deadline, Christoph embraced the project with enthusiasm and professionalism.’

Joanna Knight, Co-Founder: Sustainable Design Collective
Christoph's intelligence and thoughtfulness is clearly reflected in both his design work and his approach to collaborations. We were consistently impressed by his meticulous attention to detail and the high level of craftsmanship he brought to every aspect of the project.

"Working with Christoph on the seating for the new Gather + Gather café at UCL East was fantastic. We gave him our specifications, and he executed them brilliantly. The final chairs are stackable, exactly what we needed, and really comfortable. Customers have noticed the ‘used’ look too, so we even added a description to highlight the story behind them. It’s been a great project."

Gemma S., Project Manager, Gather+Gather
“I picked up my second piece of Christoph Studio furniture this week. Last year I bought a chair; this year, a three legged stool - both are beautifully crafted and sturdily constructed from unwanted wooden bed frames from a college dormitory. Christoph’s furniture has a reassuring functionality and form fashioned from cleverly reimagined and repurposed unwanted materials. It’s a delight to own and use something that embodies such innovative thought, maximises existing material use, is built with skill and care,and retains a connection with the crafter in an individually numbered makers stamp. It is all so very clever”
