Ocean Coffee Table

Low, light and made for weather: the Ditzels’ 1955 slatted table, rebuilt by Mater from recovered plastic waste.

Mater, the Copenhagen design house and certified B Corp, reissued the Ocean Collection around five recovered waste streams — ocean waste plastic with recycled polypropylene in Black and Sand, pharma plastic waste in Green, and post-consumer e-waste in Burnt Red and Dusty Blue. At 11.8 inches high the lounge table sits to the Ocean Lounge Chair, on the same partly recycled steel frame used across our Mater collection. The collection is designed for disassembly, and Mater sells replacement slats in all five colors.

Common Questions

Will drinks and planters mark the top?
No special precautions are needed. The recycled plastic slats wipe clean with a cloth wrung in lukewarm water. Avoid dragging sharp objects across them, which can scratch the surface.

What is each color actually made from?
Black and Sand slats are ocean waste plastic with recycled polypropylene. Green is recycled pharma plastic waste, including discarded insulin pens. Burnt Red and Dusty Blue are post-consumer e-waste.

Does it match the Ocean Lounge Chair?
Yes. It is the low companion table for Ocean lounge seating, sharing the slat pitch, the gunmetal powder-coated steel frame and all five colorways at 11.8 inches high.
