Oysters are Forever
Oysters are Forever
Oysters are Forever is a project of oyster shaped design modules. Manufactured by Sydney based Defy Design who are leaders in the precious plastics movement - the project seeks to address plastic waste in the ocean by using 100% post-consumer-plastic as the material for the shell. Of all shells, the oyster has been chosen, for its powerful filtration capabilities that naturally work to cleanse the sea. The scale of a bowl has been chosen as sharing food is a joyful way to bring people together and discuss. The shell form is based on a real oyster shell from a dinner party held last year, that has been 3D scanned and manipulated digitally to function as an object.
The oyster has been scaled up to function as a bowl and is about the size of a hand. Measurements: 160mm length x 110mm width x 40mm height
