About.

In the years I worked as a project manager for hotel renovations, I saw something we’ve all come to accept as normal: interiors being completely stripped out and replaced every 7 to 15 years.

Not because everything was worn out.
But because it was time for something new.

And that didn’t feel right.

That’s where May Again began.

Over time, that question led me to the designers who are already working differently - creating furniture from reclaimed materials, waste streams and what already exists, and designing objects with the potential to adapt, move and live far beyond a single interior.

May Again is built around helping that work go further.

We work with circular and upcycling designers to create more opportunities for their work to be discovered, placed and kept in circulation. Through Context Capsules, curated placements and collaborations, we bring their work into real cultural, public and commercial environments, where it can be used, experienced and understood in context.

But getting circular design into a space is only the beginning.

We are also exploring what happens after that first placement. How can a piece retain its identity and story as it moves? How can its origin, care, repairs and changing contexts remain connected to it? And how can that continuity create more value - not only for the people and places using it, but for the designer who created it?

Our current pilot is testing exactly that: giving circular furniture a persistent identity that can travel with it throughout its life, allowing each new context to become another chapter rather than a new beginning.

Because circular design shouldn’t end with the first sale.

We believe the future of circular design depends not only on making better objects, but on building better conditions around them: more opportunities to be specified and discovered, stronger connections between designers and projects, and systems that allow furniture to remain visible, relevant and valuable over time.

The ambition is simple: circular designers should be able to build stronger businesses around objects made to live many lives - while those objects keep moving into new contexts, gathering meaning and creating value along the way.

May Again is led by Wendy Scheerlinck, an architect by training with more than 20 years of experience across hospitality and public spaces.

Alongside May Again, she runs House of May, a studio for bold, expressive print design — because circularity and visual impact should never have to be opposites.
