The Materials Trolley was one of our very first design and build projects. We where asked by The Sorrell Foundation to create a resource for young people to find out more about building materials, as part of their long running exhibition at Somerset House. The trolley holds lots of exciting materials that we gathered together, as well as showing them off through its construction. After running a number of tester workshops we realised that it needed to be really hands on, as well as highly visual. With its multiple parts the trolley can be accessed from all angles and has satellite elements so that large groups can work all at once around it. To accompanying the materials we also produced a set postcards full of information and connecting some of the samples to a special materials trail across the South Bank which the school groups could follow.
