Description
Celebrated Danish design duo Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel were known for pioneering new materials and that spirit infuses Mater’s eco-conscious reimagining of their 1955 chair. Ocean’s slatted contours, originally fashioned in wood veneer, are composed of used fishnets (primarily from Denmark’s west coast) and recycled hard plastic—each one using 960 grams of ocean plastic waste. With its steel frame in a gunmetal finish, the seating comes in black or sand hues and is made and tested for outdoor use as well. Such sustainable thinking is a hallmark of the Mater brand and was honored with a 2019 Wallpaper Design Award.

“I wanted to launch a brand that has a strong vision to create timeless and beautiful design, based on an ethical business strategy,” says Henrik Marstrand, the chief executive and founder of Mater, the Danish design brand. Named for the Latin word for “mother,” the company signals a return to meaningful values of sustainable, eco-conscious and socially responsible design, Henrik says, and away from the self-conscious pursuit of “name” products that can confer a false sense of status. For its collections of lighting and furniture, Mater looks to both emerging talent and established designers as well as working methods that support local craft traditions, laborers and the environment. A member of the United Nations Global Compact, Mater has also been named Best Debut Design Brand by Wallpaper magazine.
