SEA CHAIR: Into the Gyre

by Studio Swine

VOYAGE INTO THE NORTH ATLANTIC GYRE WITH A SOLAR 3D PRINTER, TURNING
OCEAN PLASTIC INTO BESPOKE FURNITURE - MADE AT SEA FROM THE SEA.

We have always been drawn to the sea, a fascination which led us to
first conceive the ?Sea Chair? a project which is about making furniture
using plastic that is polluting our oceans. We first heard about the
huge problem of marine plastic in 2010, since then we have been
designing a series of devices and contraptions to collect and process
the sea plastic into sea chairs with tags indicating the geographic
coordinates of where it was made.
