YARD & DYE

Yard & Dye, operating under the Made by J. Nudd umbrella, explores the rich possibilities of natural dyes and fibres. They skilfully employ techniques like screen printing on various materials, including their signature plywood stools. This sub-brand reflects a commitment to natural and honest creation, celebrating the unique character inherent in locally sourced dyes and fibres.

Made by J’Nudd is a design-led initiative innovatively using local bio-materials, blending tradition with research for sustainable, eco-conscious, and community-minded design. It has two sub-brands, Finsilk and Yard & Dye, and their grounded yet hopeful approach prioritises a local-first ethos.

Finsilk, a pioneering bio-material developed by Made by J. Nudd, showcases utilising fish gelatine to create fully compostable materials, offering a sustainable and ethical alternative that supports the local fishing industry.
