FOCUS25 Sustainability Talk and workshop, Sep 2025
Design Centre Chelsea Harbour, London
ReFAB Studio x Sanderson
ReFAB Studio had the pleasure of leading a bespoke upcycled lampshade workshop at the beautiful Sanderson showroom in Design Centre Chelsea Harbour, for their FOCUS25 event.
The workshop was led by our Head of Design, Cordelia Blair-Stickland, the session invited participants to transform Sanderson’s beautiful pre-consumer textile remnants into unique, handcrafted lampshades — celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and sustainability.
The workshop highlighted our shared commitment with Sanderson to circular design and responsible making. Most attendees were first-time makers, discovering the joy of creating something beautiful from materials that would otherwise likely get wasted.
It was inspiring to share ReFAB Studio’s mission among such forward-thinking peers and to see the enthusiasm for sustainable design grow. Every conversation and collaboration brings us one step closer to a more circular and conscious design future.
Venue: Sanderson Showroom, DCCH
Date: 18th September | Time: 10 AM – 12 Noon

“What a Bright Idea!The ReFAB Studio Workshop’s hands-on masterclass in upcycling was so much more than just a workshop. I had the opportunity to get creative and make my own upcycled lampshade using beautiful Sanderson fabrics ( remnants) while learning how sustainable design can drive real social and environmental impact. ReFAB Studio’s mission to transform textile waste into opportunity is truly inspiring.”
