The Ocean table by Mater is part of a series of tables and chairs designed by Nanna Ditzel as early as 1955. As a new edition, classic Danish furniture made of recycled plastic from the sea will be reinterpreted. The table is available in different lengths and consists of a steel frame with burnished surface and table tops made of recycled fishing nets and hard plastic. The table is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and provides a modern and linear look both indoors and outdoors.
Mater uses recycled plastic for the table from the Danish cleantech company Plastix, one of the world's only mechanical recycling companies. Plastix transforms discarded fishing nets, trawls, ropes and other products from plastic waste into valuable recycled plastic raw materials, so-called "Green Plastics". Before being processed into Green Plastics recycled pearls, the fishing nets are sorted, analysed and cleaned before being processed into pellets in the final step. The plastic balls are later liquefied and injected into a mould so that they can serve as flexible table lamellas for the Ocean table.
Originally manufactured by Kolds Savværk until the end of the 1950s, the chair and two tables were initially designed for personal use. The first design from 1955 consisted of a steel frame and wood veneer parts. The new editions were increased by five percent to meet modern proportions. Simple forms and the lightness of the series embody the design sensitivity of the Ditzels, which was precise, practical and playful at the same time.
Together with Dennie Ditzel, Mater searched the archive of the Ditzels and selected the chair and the two tables for the Ocean series. In the new edition, the series contributes to reducing plastic waste and achieving points 12, 14, 15 and 17 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
