Heliograf

Heliograf is the design collaboration of Angus Ware and Jeffrey Simpson, who live and work on the Australian coast, Angus in Tasmania and Jeffrey in New South Wales. Both design around the problem of single-use plastic, using certified recycled ocean-bound plastic and fully compostable materials, with footprint, reuse and recycling as starting points.

Its best-known object is Light Soy, a lamp shaped after the plastic soy sauce fish packet found in takeaway sushi boxes and made from recycled ocean-bound plastic; for every lamp sold the studio funds the removal of an extra two kilos of plastic. A second product, Holy Carp, is a plastic-free, home compostable soy fish dropper. Heliograf packages without plastic, ships worldwide and works with Seven Clean Seas on cleanups, having funded the removal of more than 34 tonnes of plastic.
