Patch Design
Patch Design is an eco–conscious artisan studio that blends sustainability with craftsmanship and advanced manufacturing. Drawing inspiration from the centuries–old tradition of repairing fishing nets, Patch Design creates artistic, collectible art pieces and furniture that honours the resilience of coastal communities. The plastic used is sourced from ocean waste. The studio's work merges cutting–edge technology with the artistry of traditional coastal handicrafts to produce unique pieces that address both the environmental challenges of ocean plastic waste and the preservation of cultural values. Through each creation, Patch Design aims to inspire a deeper appreciation for craftsmanship, sustainability, and the protection of our oceans.
Patch Design presents an exhibition of art–furniture that merges 3D printing with hand–weaving, transforming recycled ocean plastics into contemporary design. Inspired by coastal fishing communities, each piece reflects traditional net–mending techniques while promoting sustainability. Featuring intricate woven structures and bio–based materials, the exhibition highlights the coexistence of craftsmanship and technology. A live weaving performance and designer talk during the opening will demonstrate repair methods used by fishermen, reinterpreted in furniture design. Visitors are invited to explore the connection between heritage, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
