At Cancelled Plans, we love giving forgotten materials a second life. What others throw away, we see as the start of a story. With brands, we create art and design pieces that feel fresh, fearless, and full of meaning.

Our work spans sustainability audits, product design, content production, and art commissions. We don’t look for clients, we look for collaborators who share the joy of turning the unexpected into the unforgettable.

Sustainability Audits & Consultancy

We help brands understand what they already have before creating something new. Our sustainability audits focus on identifying material excess, production waste, and overlooked by-products within existing systems. From there, we offer practical, creative pathways to reduce waste, reimagine materials, and build circular design strategies that are honest and achievable.

This includes:

• Mapping material flows and waste streams
• Identifying opportunities for reuse, upcycling, or redesign
• Advising on circular design thinking and responsible material choices
• Translating sustainability goals into tangible design outcomes

Our consultancy is hands-on, grounded, and built to support brands that want to move beyond intention and into action.

Product Design

Product design at Cancelled Plans begins with the material, not the brief. We design functional and sculptural objects using discarded or excess materials, allowing the material’s limitations and character to guide form, texture, and use.

We collaborate on:

• Limited-edition and collectible design pieces
• Furniture, objects, and functional art
• Material-led product experiments and prototypes
• Custom design solutions for brands and spaces

Every product is designed with longevity in mind, and crafted to feel considered, tactile, and quietly powerful.

Content Production

We create content that tells the story behind the material. Our content production services translate process, craft, and sustainability into visually striking narratives, without simplifying or sensationalising the work.

This includes:

• Concept development and creative direction
• Brand films and short-form video content
• Behind-the-scenes and process storytelling
• Visual campaigns rooted in material and making

Our content is designed to spark curiosity, invite conversation, and build cultural relevance around responsible design.

Art Commissions

Art is where we push boundaries. Our art commissions explore waste, excess, and material innovation through installations, exhibitions, and site-specific works. These projects often exist at the intersection of art, design, and public engagement.

We work on:

• Large-scale installations and exhibitions
• Public art and spatial interventions
• Collaborative artworks with artists and institutions
• Experimental material and form-led concepts

Each commission is an opportunity to challenge how materials are perceived and to create experiences that stay with people long after they’ve seen them.
