This sustainable approach uses material that is made from [ocean plastic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cresta), circular metals, as well as [reclaimed timbers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/onyx-aether). There are nine pieces that make up the collection and the designer states that collectively, the range represents “over a decade of design research into material circularity and the redefining of waste." The limited-edition collection has two tables -- one of which is named the Flotsam and the second is named the Jetsam. The Jetsam is a green triangle-shaped dining table and the Florsam is designed in a blue hue with visible microplastic fragments on a black base.
