A collaboration with Alasdair Mitchell of Ocean Plastic Pots (RHS Chelsea Sustainable Product of 2021), the Ocean plastic chair is a concept piece to test the waters of developing a stylish, commercial chair made from reclaimed fishing ropes, fish boxes and other plastic waste gathered locally in Scotland. The design, prototyping, material sourcing, plastic processing and production will all take place locally in Scotland in collaboration with partners including Strathclyde University. The design features contours inspired by ocean currents, with a gap allowing for stacking. The legs are in bamboo, with a contrasting colour plastic washer to catch the eye sitting between the leg and the seat.
Concept visual of the chair in a new colour achieved through Alasdair's plastic collection. We wanted to see how the chair would look in this bold new colour, with an incredibly eye catching result.
