Our Ocean Chairs

Our Smart Ocean chair was the first chair ever to be made from reclaimed ocean plastic. Our growing collection of Ocean chairs reflects our commitment to saving our oceans.

Each chair incorporates a significant amount of reclaimed fishing nets from the ocean. Widely regarded as the most harmful type of ocean plastic, discarded fishing nets "ghost fish" for years, damaging delicate ecosystems and the marine life that inhabit them.

Why Our Oceans Need Saving

By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in our oceans. We're creating products that begin to reverse the damage already done.

But we can only do so much. We challenge the rest of the industry to put in the hard work, and financial commitments, to make transformative impact on the Earth.

Leading the Ocean Plastic Revolution

When we first set out to turn discarded fishing nets into chairs in 2016, no other manufacturer had yet accomplished this feat. This made for an arduous start, but has become one of our most

overwhelmingly impactful endeavors, with other manufacturers now following suit. Here's a bird's eye view at our journey that's only just begun.
