Product
The Ocean Bench is a stylish and eco-friendly bench based on an original design by Joergen & Nanna Ditzel in 1955. The bench has been re-imagined by Mater specifically to reduce ocean plastic waste.
Disused fishing nets (which would have otherwise been abandoned at sea) are recycled by a specialist workshop in Denmark into plastic pellets, which are then used as a raw material for the injection-moulded slats which make up the seat and backrest of the bench. Each bench recycles 3.2 kg of plastic waste, a small but tangible step towards achieving multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals, including protecting "Life Below Water". In addition, the bench is also designed for disassembly, making it easier for the different components to be recycled.
The Ocean Bench is not only highly environmentally friendly, but is also light, comfortable and elegant, perfect for both indoor and outdoor use at home or in public spaces.
Variants
The structure of the Ocean Bench is made with gun-metal colour steel with a recycled plastic seat shell. The bench is available with the seat in black, green or sand finishes. Please make your selection in the Colour option above.
Collection
Ocean is a collection of chairs and tables, both rectangular and square.

Together with her husband Jørgen Ditzel they established their own design studio in 1946, designing jewellery for Georg Jensen together with furniture and textiles which earned silver medals at the Triennale in Milan in 1951, 1954 and 1957 and the gold medal in 1960. In 1956 they were awarded the Lunning Prize.
