DESIGN COLLABORATION FOR CONSERVATION

DESIGN CONTRIBUTIONS

Tigris is our tribute to the majestic Malayan tiger, expressed through bold geometry and contemporary cubist design. We collaborated with VERITAS, a globally recognised multidisciplinary design firm, to create this collection by uniting two materials that represent our distinct identities. We crafted the pewter elements to reflect Royal Selangor’s heritage and craftsmanship, while VERITAS contributed concrete components that echo their architectural roots. Through this partnership, we expanded our exploration of mixed-media design, demonstrating how traditional metalwork can be harmoniously combined with modern industrial materials to create meaningful, enduring pieces.

ECO-COMPOSITE

Royal Selangor continues to advance its circularity efforts by transforming the substantial volume of sawdust generated from its woodcraft processes into a sustainable biocomposite material. The sawdust shavings are carefully refined and blended with a specialised binding resin to create a durable, food-safe eco-composite that can be moulded into functional components. This material is used to form coaster bases, tin caddy bases, and holders for decorative plates. Initially introduced in collections such as the Reunion tea caddies and Heritage coasters, the biocomposite has since been incorporated into additional ranges, including the Woodland and Ace collections, as well as limited-edition pieces like the red variant created for the Year of the Horse.

This initiative not only reduces waste but also reflects Royal Selangor’s commitment to responsible material innovation and sustainable product design.
