Plasticiet

Plasticiet is a Dutch design studio and producer founded by Marten and Joost, who began melting household plastic waste as students at the Willem de Kooning Academy and turned the experiments into a company in 2016. From a workshop at Voltaweg 3 in Delft it designs and manufactures recycled solid surface materials for interiors and architecture, using waste polycarbonate without binders.

Its materials, Karlite and Mother of Pearl, are made by hand and to order, and are also used for collectible furniture produced in house, from the development of custom surfaces to bespoke pieces. The studio argues that recycled material should not look recycled, and has supplied Jil Sander’s Ginza store, Bershka in Milan with OMA, the Spotify Listening Lounge, Adidas Terrex, Nike Move to Zero, Ace & Tate and the Bank of England Museum.
