Transforming Waste into Award-Winning Garden Design
When a visionary garden concept for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show needed a material that could combine sustainability, colour, light, and architectural impact, Midton was selected to bring the idea to life using our Remade Brut recycled acrylic panels.
The project originated through a connection made at the Surface Design Show, where Hollaway Studio designers discovered Midton’s innovative recycled acrylic range and recognised its potential for a show-stopping garden structure.
The Brief
Hollaway Studio approached Midton with a concept for a framed garden pavilion structure to be showcased at Chelsea Flower Show.
The initial request was for:
- Bespoke Brut textured acrylic panels
- Approximately 64 individual infill panels in Multiple shapes and dimensions
- Colours to be developed collaboratively
- Panels that would complement surrounding planting and floral palettes
- A material with strong sustainability credentials
The structure required every panel to feel individual while still working harmoniously as a complete installation.
Design Development Through Sampling
Following our first sample submissions, the client confirmed the early Midton samples helped shape the final concept.
They then asked us to develop a wider tonal palette, exploring:
- Burgundy tones
- Dark and mid pinks
- Apricot shades
- Earthy browns
- Warm bronze
The goal was to ensure the translucent panels would interact beautifully with sunlight while complementing the planting scheme and bronze-toned structural frame.
Midton Solution: Remade Brut
Midton proposed panels from the Remade Brut collection, a material created using recycled acrylic offcuts, chipped and recast into richly textured sheets with unique internal character. Each panel offered:
- Recycled content from production waste streams
- Bespoke pigmentation and tinting
- Light diffusion and texture
- Durable weather-resistant cast acrylic performance
- One-of-a-kind visual character in every sheet
The result was a material perfectly suited to Chelsea Flower Show: sustainable, artistic, and technically robust.

Manufacturing Process
All panels were manufactured at Midton’s Scotland facility under one roof.
Production Included:
- Colour formulation and sampling
- Casting textured Remade Brut sheets
- CNC machining to bespoke geometries
- Precision finishing for framed installation
- Quality checks for consistency across tonal range
- Delivery for final installation build
Because each opening in the pavilion varied, multiple shapes and dimensions were produced to exact specifications.
The Finished Result
Installed at RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the pavilion became a striking centrepiece.
As sunlight moved throughout the day, the translucent coloured panels created changing reflections, warmth, and depth. The blend of recycled material, architecture, and planting created a calm immersive space for visitors.
The project demonstrated how sustainable materials can move beyond specification sheets and become emotionally engaging design features. structural frame.
