Stuth is a generative design and design research practice founded on principles of repairability and localised production. We translate between process design, 3D modelling, additive manufacturing and digital fabrication to create unconventional solutions to complex design problems.

Our work is guided by specific principles of design-use:

• Sustainable materials alongside sustainable processes
• Consider product life cycles and ecological impact
• Think and plan across generations
• Prioritise the right to repair (reuse)
• Climate change mitigation and resilience
• Digital distribution and local production
• Place and story based

  • Stuth

    Stuth is a Scottish Gaelic word meaning material or substance, chosen for its embodiment of the stuff things are made from, and in how the Gaelic language embeds place into the architecture of meaning-making.

    As a design practice we steward stuth amh, raw material, into stuth-obrach, working material. Stuth defines and accompanies our design journey, from the curiosity that raw material incites, to research and inquiry, to developing stuth-cluiche, the play materials, and to the generative outcomes that derive from this process.
