Description
ARDE founder and architect René Hougaard hews to a dicta of “creative conscience“ as aptly seen in his graceful yet practical chair, sustainably reimagined in ocean plastic waste for Mater. With a metal frame, Nova Sea is made from 96% recycled fishing nets and recycled plastic with a comfortable ergonomic profile. Stackable up to 6 deep, lightweight and assuredly sturdy, it comes in both armchair and armless versions, with or without a foamed seat.

“I wanted to launch a brand that has a strong vision to create timeless and beautiful design, based on an ethical business strategy,” says Henrik Marstrand, the chief executive and founder of Mater, the Danish design brand. Named for the Latin word for “mother,” the company signals a return to meaningful values of sustainable, eco-conscious and socially responsible design, Henrik says, and away from the self-conscious pursuit of “name” products that can confer a false sense of status. For its collections of lighting and furniture, Mater looks to both emerging talent and established designers as well as working methods that support local craft traditions, laborers and the environment. A member of the United Nations Global Compact, Mater has also been named Best Debut Design Brand by Wallpaper magazine.
