From broken bricks to an award-winning pendant.

Wayst Pendant 01 is a Winner at the 2026 in Product Design — Furniture & Lighting.

The jury captured it simply: waste is not weakness. It is an opportunity. That has always been the thinking behind Wayst — reclaimed material, considered craft, nothing wasted.

To be recognised alongside so many talented designers from across the continent is a real honour. African design is in good hands, and we are proud to be part of that conversation.

Thank you to the AIDA jury and team for the work you do in championing design on this continent. And thank you to everyone who has supported Wayst from the beginning.

Gathered.

To gather — to fold, to bloom, to collect.

A name that carries more than one meaning. The gathering of pleats in cloth. Of petals around a stem. But also the sense of things brought together, collected, assembled. A light made to be collected.

The shade fans outward from a single point — sitting somewhere between a folded fabric and an opened flower, without fully settling into either. Viewed from above it reads as a bloom. Hung and lit, it settles into something softer. Closer to folded cloth than open flower.

Available in Powder Blue, Sandstone, Maroon and Harvest — each with a colour-matched textile cord and components by the wonderful

More than just an object of form, the vertical soap dish is built with function at its core.
Its upright design allows water to drain away, keeping soap dry and extending its lifespan.

Compact and sculptural, it makes use of vertical space — a considered solution for smaller surfaces.

Part of our ongoing material exploration at alkaline, a product and design studio focused on creating thoughtful objects through experimentation with materials and process.

The CORE coasters combine a cast mineral composite base with a natural cork inlay, bringing together contrasting qualities — weight and warmth, durability and tactility.

At alkaline we develop material-led objects for everyday use, with many pieces offering personalisation and custom finishes to suit different spaces and projects.

WAYST Pendant Light 01

Formed from reclaimed brick waste, the pendant explores the transformation of construction material into a new functional object. Brick fragments are crushed and reconstituted into a composite surface, then etched to reveal the aggregate and create a raw, tactile texture.

The piece is part of the WAYST collection, which investigates how discarded construction materials can be given a new lifecycle through design.
