Danish brand Mater reimagined a 1955 classic chair and two tables by Kolds Savværk into the upcycled Ocean product range made with PP regenerate (plastic from milk transport cases), bioplastic charcoal, and ocean waste plastic gathered from the only recycling plant specifically for fishing nets in the world in Denmark. Repeated slats and metal frames enclose the light structures, which are made for outdoor use.

An interpretation of Norwegian modernist Bendt Winge’s classic, 1960s-era R-48 chair, S-1500 from Snøhetta, a result of two years of research, is made entirely from recycled plastic sourced from the fish farming industry in Norway. Worn-out fish nets, ropes, and pipes compose the chair, with a subframe made of recycled steel. The components are processed, and then grinded into a granulate that is injected into the framework.
