How do you turn old fishing nets into a chair? Meet the Kelp Chair, designed by ITG Studio, or Interesting Times Gang, a Swedish design studio. These chairs are manufactured from recycled plastic that comes from fishing nets.
The studio actually sees this as an “interstitial design” on the way to creating a chair manufactured from kelp, a macro algae. They developed a prototype of the kelp version last year.
The current version is manufactured using additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing. Layer by layer, the recycled fishing net plastic is built up to create the chair. While early printers used basic plastics, today’s advanced additive manufacturing technologies can create quite durable and robust products.
The ambition to work toward a biomaterial is commendable. While many additive manufacturing projects stay in the lab, the Kelp Chair is a commercial product. It’s fully recycled and available for under $800.

What a way to close out the year!
Interesting Times Gang is honored to be an honoree with ”Shelf Life” at the 2025 Design Intelligence Award. Founded in 2015, @design_intelligence_award is China’s first and most influential international academic award for industrial design and innovative thinking.
Here’s to what’s next in 2026🍸. Happy New Year! 🍾✨
The Kelp Chair by @itg.studio is now part of the permanent display at @nationalmuseumswe .
From exploring shapes and coastal fauna 🪸 in the West Coast archipelago to experimenting with recycled materials ♻️ and new production methods 🦾, the journey has been anything but straightforward.
A prestigious, eternal home for our labour of love. The Kelp Chair is, and will forevermore be a lighthouse for biophilic design, circular materials and innovative production.
Interesting Times Gang is, of course, incredibly proud of the recognition and eager to see what the next tide 🌊 carries in..

Short listed for @dezeen awards 2025 🎊
Whey! @itg.studio has been shortlisted in the ”Bespoke Design” category for the @dezeenawards_ 2025.
The concept created for @fotografiska.stockholm features custom ”Mahalo” tables and a bar counter from recycled fishing nets sourced from Sweden’s West Coast 🇸🇪, all set against the backdrop overlooking the Stockholm archipelago 🌊.
Thank you!
