Recycled ocean plastics create terrazzo effect in Gyro table by Brodie Neill. London Design Biennale 2016: fragments of recycled ocean plastic are inlaid to achieve the terrazzo effect of the Gyro table, designed by Brodie Neill for Australia's entry into the first London Design Biennale (+ slideshow).

Recycled ocean plastics create terrazzo effect in Gyro table by Brodie Neill

Neill, an Australian designer now based in London, constructed the table from tiny pieces of plastic that have been salvaged from beaches around the world, including Tasmania, Hawaii and Cornwall. Each piece was separated by colour before being processed and arranged into a plastic composite. The visual effect is similar to terrazzo flooring, which is usually made from marble or granite. Using chips of blue, white, black, brown and green plastic, the table's speckled top evokes the colours of the ocean. Its mottled colours fan out from the centre in a gradient, going from mostly white in the centre to black at the edge.

Across three days of lectures and workshops, attendees heard inspiring stories from TerraCycle, MUD Jeans, OzHarvest, Emma & Tom’s, Serendipity Ice Cream, Kathmandu and ecostore, amongst strategists, academics, CEOs and heads of communications and marketing.

Both local and global speakers – from typically conventional big business down to the Millennial entrepreneur – delved into the technologies, skills, ideas and collaborations that drive their brands forward within a sustainable economy framework.

However it’s defined, sustainability isn’t an end point. It’s a philosophy, a set of values in action. It isn’t just about the environment (as vital as that is); it’s also about vibrant communities and how we all make a fair living. Last millennium it seemed like we had to make a choice between profit or planet, economics or ecosystems. Now, an approach to doing things sustainably is widely accepted as best practice.
