Details
Introducing a vision of what can be achieved with large-scale 3D-printed furniture made of recycled fishing nets and wood fibre. The design, inspired by the oceanic environments of the Swedish west coast archipelago and the unconstricted movement of organic forms. An organic ebb and ergonomic flow, gives the impression that the chair was created down there on the ocean floor. The chair is the designer's ultimate love letter to his upbringing and lost surroundings of youth.
The Jury‘s Statement
The striking design language inspired by the sea gives the 3D-printed "Kelp Chair" a lively, organic, sculptural look that makes it unmistakable. The fact that the plastic used for this chair is made from recycled fishing nets helps to rid the oceans of plastic waste.
