Medium: Recycled bottle caps, nylon rope
Problem Statement: This project focuses on a chair that is sustainable, portable and fits to specific situation and place. The chair’s function is essential, and the materials used in the chair should be considered sustainably.
Objective: Collect bottle caps around the ocean to create the beach chair that responses to ocean waste and pollution.
"Transforming 1000 bottle caps into a compact, foldable chair that saves the ocean.”
The design and materials of this chair facilitate efficient drainage of water from damp clothing and swimwear. Additionally, sitting on the chair prevents direct contact between the body and sand, which tends to adhere to wet surfaces. Its compact size and lightweight nature ensure easy portability. Furthermore, each panel's adjustable angle allows users to customize back support according to personal preference, enhancing comfort during beach relaxation.
