They\u2019re an attempt to cast aside toxic materials, and instead, add furniture designs to our home that won\u2019t rot away on Earth for years once we\u2019re done with them. And one such intriguing and thoughtfully designed sustainable furniture design I recently came across is the Kelp Chair by Interesting Times Gang.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.itg.studio\/concepts\/kelp-collection\">Interesting Times Gang<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-486815\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/kelp-chair\/kelp_chair_yanko_design_08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/25\/the-kelp-chair-2-0-is-made-using-seaweed-instead-of-recycled-plastic\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The Kelp Chair 2.0 Is Made Using Seaweed Instead Of Recycled Plastic\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/kelp-chair\/kelp_chair_yanko_design_08.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-486815\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/kelp-chair\/kelp_chair_yanko_design_08.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/25\/the-kelp-chair-2-0-is-made-using-seaweed-instead-of-recycled-plastic\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The Kelp Chair 2.0 Is Made Using Seaweed Instead Of Recycled Plastic\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/kelp-chair\/kelp_chair_yanko_design_08.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"a851e3eead3c5811edc91f4a-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"a851e3eead3c5811edc91f4a-text\/javascript\"><\/p>\n<p><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-486811\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/kelp-chair\/kelp_chair_yanko_design_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/25\/the-kelp-chair-2-0-is-made-using-seaweed-instead-of-recycled-plastic\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The Kelp Chair 2.0 Is Made Using Seaweed Instead Of Recycled Plastic\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/kelp-chair\/kelp_chair_yanko_design_02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-486811\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/kelp-chair\/kelp_chair_yanko_design_02.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/25\/the-kelp-chair-2-0-is-made-using-seaweed-instead-of-recycled-plastic\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The Kelp Chair 2.0 Is Made Using Seaweed Instead Of Recycled Plastic\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/kelp-chair\/kelp_chair_yanko_design_02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Designed by the Swedish design studio Interesting Times Gang, the Kelp Chair has a new and improved version. The new 3D-printed version of the Kelp chair is built from seaweed instead of recycled plastic! The original Kelp chair was designed in 2022 by Interesting Times Gang and it was made using recycled fishing nets and wood pulp. The chair was named because of the unique lines of its form, which were heavily inspired by ocean vegetation.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-486812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/kelp-chair\/kelp_chair_yanko_design_03.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/25\/the-kelp-chair-2-0-is-made-using-seaweed-instead-of-recycled-plastic\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The Kelp Chair 2.0 Is Made Using Seaweed Instead Of Recycled Plastic\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/kelp-chair\/kelp_chair_yanko_design_03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-486812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/kelp-chair\/kelp_chair_yanko_design_03.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/04\/25\/the-kelp-chair-2-0-is-made-using-seaweed-instead-of-recycled-plastic\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"The Kelp Chair 2.0 Is Made Using Seaweed Instead Of Recycled Plastic\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/04\/kelp-chair\/kelp_chair_yanko_design_03.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"1017606968\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"a851e3eead3c5811edc91f4a-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"a851e3eead3c5811edc91f4a-text\/javascript\"><\/p>\n<p><\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Since the chair was originally released, the studio wanted to recreate a new version made with its namesake algae!

The Nordic sugar kelp is a brown seaweed that grows in the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans. This seaweed is then converted into a bioplastic, and then 3D printed. The Sugar Kelp cair also includes a cushion which is made from a material from an identical source. The unique upholstery is crafted from Keel Labs\u2019 seaweed-based Kelsun fiber, while the foam filler is made from a kelp biofoam which is produced by the Norwegian start-up Agoprene.
