Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) has long been recognised for its technical performance in packaging and insulation in buildings, but it is increasingly earning a reputation in an unexpected place: the world of art.

From large-scale public sculptures to immersive exhibition pieces and theatrical props, EPS has become a go-to material for artists, designers and creative studios looking to push boundaries. Its lightweight structure, versatility and ease of sculpting make it ideal for transforming big ideas into striking visual experiences.
