Does your work fit within our selection?

Discover the five pillars behind continuity-driven, context-aware and materially intelligent design.

At May Again, we select work that contributes to interiors designed for continuity : where material quality, authorship and long-term relevance matter as much as aesthetics.

We are particularly interested in designers, makers and studios who rethink how materials, objects and interiors can remain active, traceable and meaningful over time.

The following pillars help guide our curatorial selection. Your work does not need to meet every criterion, but it should clearly resonate with at least one of them.

1. Upcycled & Transformative Design

We value work that meaningfully transforms recovered, excess or underused materials into objects with renewed spatial, cultural or material value.

We look for:

  • thoughtful material transformation

  • high-quality execution

  • a strong sense of authorship

  • clear awareness of origin and process

The most interesting work retains traces of where materials come from while giving them a new relevance and identity.

2. Design for Continuity

We prioritise work designed to remain active over time rather than becoming obsolete after a single use phase.

This may include:

  • modular or adaptable systems

  • repairability and upgrade potential

  • durable construction and timeless use

  • the ability to evolve, move or re-enter new contexts over time

We see longevity not as permanence, but as the ability to stay relevant through change.

3. Material Intelligence

We appreciate designers who work consciously with material sourcing, environmental impact and resource awareness.

This can involve:

  • recycled or bio-based materials

  • low-impact production methods

  • local sourcing strategies

  • transparent material decisions

  • thoughtful use of existing resources

What matters most is a clear and intelligent relationship between material choice, design intent and future use.

4. Recontextualised Objects & Materials

We are interested in work that gives existing objects, furniture or materials a meaningful second life through careful reuse, reinterpretation or refurbishment.

Rather than hiding the past, these projects often build on it - allowing objects to carry memory, identity and continuity into new spatial contexts.

5. Traceability & Authorship

We value work that remains connected to its origins over time.

This may include:

  • transparent information about materials and production

  • documented provenance or sourcing

  • product passports or traceability systems

  • visible craftsmanship and maker identity

  • a clear narrative around process, context or impact

For us, traceability is not only technical : it is also cultural. It helps objects retain meaning as they move through different contexts and users over time.

Does your work resonate with one or more of these pillars?

Then it may be a strong fit for future Context Capsules and collaborations within May Again.

We curate by selection rather than volume, looking for work that combines spatial quality with long-term relevance, material intelligence and continuity of use.
