HOW CAN WE HELP?
Re4m Design and Fabrication is Ottawa’s only known studio dedicated to sustainable design and fabrication. We specialize in creating custom furnishings, fixtures, and displays for business using eco-conscious materials and responsible building practices.
As a sustainability-driven fabricator, we proudly offer a range of services with environmental impact always top of mind. We enjoy collaborating with like-minded companies and actively supporting sustainable initiatives across industries. Below are some of the services we currently offer.
Fabrication and Custom Builds
At Re4m, we design and build custom fixtures, displays, furnishings, and products using eco-conscious materials and thoughtful, responsible practices. Our clients value the honesty and intention behind each piece—creations that genuinely reflect their brand and purpose. Every project is one-of-a-kind, shaped by a commitment to sustainability and storytelling, resulting in work that’s as meaningful as it is functional.
Sustainable Product Development
Re4m helps develop products in two ways:
1. Circular Innovation Program – Designed for forward-thinking organizations such as museums, manufacturers, construction companies, and retailers, this program transforms recurring waste streams into purposeful, high-impact solutions — sometimes even leading to entirely new products.

2. Product Design Services – For companies and organizations without a specific waste stream, we offer tailored product design solutions to bring new ideas to life. [View our current products here]
Design Consultations
Re4m’s multidisciplinary team is skilled in industrial design, engineering, woodworking, and graphics. We craft custom retail displays, furnishings, and branded pieces that elevate any space. From product and furniture design to logos and signage, we offer full-service creative solutions. Design led by Heather, our Industrial Designer and graphic design expert with 12+ years of experience.
Community Engagement
A growing passion of Heather's is to educate youth and professionals on environmental initiatives in combination with entrepreneurship. She has participated in virtual and in person talks such as Local Talks, Highschool Guest Speaker (Element Highschool, John McCrae H.S, Renfrew Collegiate Institute) Dream Big Renfrew, Tiny House Festival Perth and mentorship programs with Carleton University Industrial Design and Futurpreneur Canada.
Material Recovery
Through our growing network of makers, artists, and sustainable organizations, we help connect communities and divert valuable materials like construction scraps, retired exhibits, or outdated retail displays.
