The Common Neglect Material (CNM) collection is a line of recycled furniture creations by Takuto Ohta that make use of an unlikely material for impressively stylish results. The collection consists of chairs crafted out of unused fishing containers, which have been fashioned into functional seating solutions that are decidedly industrial. Each of the chairs embraces its upcycled aesthetic to highlight rather than hide the material its made of.
The Common Neglect Material (CNM) collection is achieved by cutting, bending and forming the containers into the necessary position to achieve the seat-like design. What's created is an array of seating solutions that are durable enough to withstand regular use in outdoor areas and perfect for placement in industrial settings where chairs are required.
