Responding to the growing demand for eco friendly furniture, Morph is an ambitious and innovative modular construction system that is 100% recycled and 100% recyclable. This system will provide cost effective and flexible solutions to companies that are struggling to find adaptable solutions to Covid-19 affected office layouts. As the system can be repurposed to suit different uses it can be utilised long after the Covid-19 pandemic has been resolved but will follow new office trends as well as giving the flexibility to adapt to any future emergency or change to regulations.Offering hire options to allow clients to try the product as well as a buy back option to give a complete circular economy will give struggling companies the adaptability they need to trade their way out of the current crisis. It will encourage a permanent flexible development policy within office environments and will contribute to the government policy for reducing environmental impact.Not only is this a product that large manufacturers and dealers are currently admitting is needed, but don't have, its also a product that will allow companies to have socially responsible returns, contributing to the circular economy.Morph will encourage young designers to build their own environmentally friendly products using the system and will create employment opportunities and increase exports. By allowing repurposing of assets to reduce waste it will encourage long term investment and inspire a mindful approach to work interiors. It will help support the movement against the throwaway culture.This project will take the Morph system through the last stages of R&D for the core components and will result in finished office furniture products that have been tested in situ.The system currently consists of four core component parts enabling a building block approach to creating numerous product designs from office furniture, screens, meeting bay areas and outdoor furniture. Later this can be expanded to private meeting pods and outdoor spaces. Fully adaptable, every product can be dismantled and repurposed or stored for later use. The components are lightweight yet strong, will be made from 100% recycled materials and will be 100% recyclable. The project offers a regenerative approach and circular business model and aims to reduce the enormous amount of commercial furniture and fit-out dilapidations which end up in UK landfill today.Morph (to change from one thing to another) will give furniture the ability to adapt to our changing world whilst protecting our environment.

为了满足对环保家具日益增长的需求，Morph是一个雄心勃勃的创新模块化建筑系统，100%回收和100%可回收。该系统将为那些正在努力寻找适应新冠肺炎影响的办公室布局的解决方案的公司提供具有成本效益和灵活的解决方案。由于该系统可以被重新利用以适应不同的用途，因此在新冠肺炎疫情爆发后很长一段时间内都可以使用。19大流行已经得到解决，但将遵循新的办公室趋势，并提供灵活性，以适应未来的任何紧急情况或法规变化。提供租用选项，让客户尝试产品，以及回购选项，以实现完全的循环经济，将为陷入困境的公司提供所需的适应性，通过贸易摆脱当前的危机。它将鼓励在办公环境中采取永久灵活的发展政策，并将有助于政府减少对环境影响的政策。这不仅是一种大型制造商和经销商目前承认需要但没有的产品，也是一种让公司获得社会责任回报的产品。为循环经济做出贡献。Morph将鼓励年轻设计师使用该系统制造自己的环保产品，并将创造就业机会和增加出口。通过允许重新利用资产以减少浪费，它将鼓励长期投资，并激发对工作内部的谨慎态度。该项目将通过最后阶段的核心部件研发，最终生产出经过现场测试的办公家具成品。该系统目前由四个核心部件组成，可通过积木式方法创建从办公家具、屏风、会议区和户外家具等众多产品设计。之后，这可以扩展到私人会议舱和户外空间。完全适应性强，每个产品都可以拆卸和重新利用或储存以备后用。这些组件重量轻，但坚固，将由100%回收材料制成，并将100%可回收。该项目提供了一种可再生的方法和循环的商业模式，旨在减少大量的商业家具和装修，最终在英国的垃圾填埋场今天。变形（从一件事到另一件事的变化）将使家具能够适应我们不断变化的世界，同时保护我们的环境。
