sea chair: into the gyre. studio swine.

Oct 2, 2014 | sustainable |

‘There is enough plastic in the sea to circle the world three times’, says Studio Swine. They wish to embark on a voyage into the North Atlantic Gyre with a solar 3D printer, turning ocean plastic into bespoke furniture – made at sea from the sea.

Studioswine works across many disciplines from interiors to branding. Central to their practice is the notion of research led design as a tool for placemaking in a globalizing world. Swine is founded by Azusa Murakami and Alexander Groves. This project will be funded on Friday 10 Oct 2014 1:01 AM CDT on [ kickstarter ]. There’s still seven days to contribute.
