On Thursday 29 January, Benholm hosted its first collaborative event with Russwood at Material Source Studio, Glasgow.

The event marked the beginning of a new partnership and welcomed members of the design community for a yoga morning focused on connection and wellness.

Held at 8:30am, the event opened its doors to design professionals, who arrived before the working day began, rolling out yoga mats and swapping tools for activewear.

The early morning event offered an alternative to post-work networking events and encouraged attendees to pause and reflect.

Russwood, a leading supplier of high-quality timber products and fixing systems co-organised the event demonstrating a shared commitment to nurturing the design community.

Pol from Yoga Meditation Healing led the session, arriving early to transform the Material Source space into a temporary wellness studio.

Gentle music filled the studio as participants were guided through an immersive yoga session and sound bath.

The morning ended with Dorky French pastries and Pineapple Espresso vanilla matchas, leaving attendees recharged and energised for the day of design ahead.

The event was widely regarded as a success and reflected a broader ambition from Benholm and Russwood to rethink industry engagement.
