New possibilities for reclaimed pallet timber.
Matter Again is a public platform for documenting and advancing reclaimed pallet timber. Its first body of built prototypes comes from a mixed-use precinct within Linbro Park, Johannesburg.
Material enquiry
One reclaimed material. Many built applications.
Discarded pallets are deconstructed into stringers and blocks, then explored through stacking, infill, cladding and block arrangements. Matter Again brings this evolving body of knowledge into public view through built work, photography, renders and written documentation.
