“When we are involved in the

development of reproducing the

original Ditzel designs, we want the

products to be symbolic of Nanna’s

values and aesthetics, where colours

and colour composition are essential

elements. The beautiful, warm “burnt

red” is ideal as a new take on the

black, green, and white colours of

the garden furniture series.”

/ Dennie Ditzel, Daughter of Joergen & Nanna Ditzel

The Ocean Collection is being refreshed with a rich

new colourway in ‘Burnt Red’, which will permanently

join the pre-existing variations. As warm tones were

known as a favourite of Nanna Ditzel, the ‘Burnt Red’

colourway was carefully created in celebration of

Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel’s legacy.

Originally produced from wood veneer, the outdoor

furniture collection was first designed in 1955 by

Jørgen and Nanna Ditzel - one of the 20th century’s

most renowned design duos. Since 2019, Mater has

reimagined the elegant designs, in an effort to tackle

various waste streams. First, in a version using recycled

fishing nets, since a version made in collaboration

with Carlsberg Brewery and a:gain – a company that

has developed an innovative method for upcycling

Carlsberg’s plastic beer kegs and now we present a

‘Burnt Red’ version of the Ocean Collection made with

68% percent recycled post-consumer e-waste plastic.

The Ocean series is characterised by its light structure,

with repeated slats and sturdy frames made of 20%

recycled steel tube in a stylish gunmetal finish -

tried and tested for outdoor use. The Collection is

furthermore designed for disassembly, meaning that

the design allows each component in its purest form

to be recycled into new production circles.
