Ocean OC2 Bench

The Ocean OC2 Bench, a collaboration between Mater and Danish Carlsberg breweries, embodies the harmonious blend of historical design and modern sustainability. This innovative piece repurposes discarded plastic beer kegs, merging environmental consciousness with timeless aesthetics. It's not just a bench – it's a statement of sustainable living and design ingenuity.

Conceived originally by the celebrated 20th-century designers Jørgen and Nanna Ditzel, the Ocean OC2 Bench has been reimagined to cater to the eco-aware lifestyle of today. It features a characteristic light structure with repeated slats and a sturdy metal frame, designed and tested for durability and outdoor use. The bench is a showcase of Mater's commitment to upcycling, incorporating 1500g / 53oz of plastic waste from beer kegs into each piece, reflecting a profound dedication to reducing environmental impact.

Crafted in Poland, the OC2 Bench is a testament to sustainable innovation. The slats are formed from a unique blend of discarded beer kegs and recycled hard plastic, while the bench's frame is made from 20% recycled steel, finished in an elegant gunmetal tone. These materials have been meticulously selected not only for their eco-friendly properties but also for their durability and strength. Featuring hard plastic gliders and stackable up to four units, the bench offers practical versatility for various settings.

Aligned with circular economy principles, the Ocean OC2 Bench is designed for disassembly, allowing each component to be recycled and contribute to new production cycles. This design approach underscores Mater's vision of sustainable practices and is exemplified by the bench's significant reduction in CO2 emissions compared to similar products.

The Ocean OC2 Bench stands as a remarkable blend of classic design heritage and forward-thinking environmental responsibility. It represents Mater's innovative spirit in furniture making, where each creation is not only a functional piece but also a stride towards a more sustainable future. Perfect for those who value design history and are passionate about ecological stewardship, this bench is more than a seating option; it's a piece of reimagined history, crafted for a greener world.
