Plastic bags are made from HDPE, one of the most recyclable plastics, but become paradoxically problematic in their final form. As bags, they entangle recycling machinery, and their minimal material renders the energy expended in reclaiming them inefficient.
The true worth of a bag lies in its printed graphic, a narrative thread that ties it to a specific place and moment. Iconic New York City plastic bags, with their storied imagery, were repurposed to line a steel mold. Combined with discarded plastic, they were melted and compressed, transforming ephemeral carriers into solid, enduring blocks—a reclamation of both material and memory.
An edition of 2 Thank You (Have A Nice Day) Stools were created for PlasticScene, an exhibition of designs made from post consumer waste, during London Design Festival 2018, organized by designer James Shaw and Laura Houseley, Editor-in-Chief of Modern Design Review.

The Leg Bowl, a vessel of whimsy, is rooted in the ancient Chinese ding—a ceremonial bowl that first appeared in pre-bronze age and would evolve through time into the European soup tureen. This iteration also draws on the tongue in cheek, semi-body horror design of the famed Sèvres teton-bowl, a cup fashioned in the likeness of Marie Antoinette’s breast poised on three ram’s heads.

Abalone shell veneer is meticulously stabilized with an aluminum backer and then UV bonded to glass, a combination of nature and engineering.
To achieve the lustrous mirror surface, we introduce a silver nitrate solution forging a chemical bond, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. With a deliberate touch, we mix a precise scarcity of silver solution, this technique gives rise to a mesmerizing organic edge, gracefully fading into the clarity of the glass—a harmonious union of natural beauty and craftsmanship.
