A passion for the natural world has turned into the creation of furniture using ocean-borne plastic for Brazilian furniture designer Guilherme Wentz.
Wentz’s first collection was inspired by nature and the ocean, but he fast progressed from awe at its majesty and beauty, to taking action on the environmental crisis that threatens it.
With his latest collection, titled ‘Mar’ (‘sea’ in Portuguese), Wentz is not just taking design inspiration from the water, he is harvesting ocean-borne plastic waste to incorporate into each piece using computerised 3D-weaving techniques.
