We create

We design and create multi-sensory artefacts that make possible worlds feel real. For walks, participatory workshops, cultural installations, futures initiatives and more.

Crafting sensory artefacts, material futures, and experiential worlds

Making imagination tangible

We design and create multi-sensory artefacts that make possible worlds feel real.
From speculative newspapers and soundscapes to future scents, fabrics, foods, and other tactile pieces, these artefacts turn abstract ideas into lived, shareable experience.

Rooted in the senstoryscapes method, every artefact is crafted to reduce psychological distance and increase immersion, helping people sense, reflect, and imagine futures together.

How we work

We combine in-house creative design and production (drawing on two decades of experience running a design studio) with a trusted network of artists, writers, and makers.

For each commission, we love to collaborate with local partners: craftspeople, scientists, communities, or storytellers. This ensures that what we create feels grounded in place and purpose.

Our approach is flexible, collaborative, and always co-creative: we bring the creative direction and the method, and together we bring your future to life.

Why sensory artefacts and objects matter:

These artefacts don’t just illustrate change; they embody it. They spark conversation, surface emotion, and bridge imagination with memory.

Because sometimes, the best way to imagine the past, a new world in the present, or a possible future is to sense it.
