Incorporating recycled NetPlus material, Smart Ocean is the embodiment of sustainable manufacturing and great design.

The Smart Ocean Task Chair utilises material from discarded ocean fishing nets collected and recycled by Bureo, an emerging venture developing innovative solutions to prevent ocean plastic pollution.

The nets are transformed into plastic pellets and then used to manufacture Smart Ocean office chairs.

Smart Ocean instantly adjusts to each unique user as if each chair was made for them. Weight sensitive, self locking recline mechanism with 20° of movement uses each sitter’s body weight to adjust the tension and recline of the chair.

It features contoured seat cushions that closely follow the body’s shape while a waterfall edge offers long-term comfort, reducing pressure points and providing weight distribution.

With an aesthetic driven by functionality, Smart Ocean has a timeless beauty that’s universally relevant in any workspace.
