The team collected the materials used to manufacture the chair from streets and waterways in Indonesia to find [sustainable alternatives for discarded plastic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/re-up-side-tables). Each chair boasts 20 kilograms of [recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trashy). Space Available's chair design boasts an under-seat compartment in a nod to Gou's personal vinyl collection. A hypnotic spiral pattern is hand-designed and made from melter plastic that covers the chair's surface. Founder of Space Available, Daniel Mithcell, explains that while plastic recycling is an important step towards sustainability, "banning single-use plastic is the only way" to make an environmental difference truly.
