HandWoven SeaWeed Chairs – Potentiel Alternative to Cotton

Sea Me by Studio Nienke Hoogvliet, Delft, the Netherlands Studio Nienke Hoogvliet’s Sea Me collection features a chair with a seat made from hand-woven seaweed yarn, dyed using seaweed, and a wooden side table finished with paint also made from seaweed. Seaweed is abundant in the world’s oceans and is a low-impact harvest as it uses no valuable land or fresh water. Its potential as an alternative to cotton is one to explore – and it’s also one of the main sources of the planet’s oxygen.
