Core Matter of Design: End of Life Plastics Manufacturing
Waste is in the Eye of the Beholder
— Il rifiuto è negli occhi di chi guarda —
Playful, hopeful, constructive exploration into waste. An installation using ocean plastics and other end-of-life plastic as an alternative to concrete.
An immersive space to reflect on design, materiality, waste, and how we perceive it; explore what fundamentally matters in good design and how to apply it at scale — within a rapidly changing world.
Contemporary building products and alternative manufacturing using ocean and landfill-bound soft plastics through decentralised manufacturing.
Pelagic.earth presents our mission and model for sophisticated product, service, and system design.
Let's give waste new meaning, connect communities, stabilise markets, and reorient our waste management and industrial systems.
And let's do it at scale.
Anchored in the idea that 'waste is in the eye of the beholder' — waste is a cultural proposition, an industrial byproduct, an ecosystem out of balance, a misalignment of design x [time + function].
So let’s reframe it.
Milan Design Week 2025 is our first presentation of Pelagic.earth.

Pelagic.Earth
Pelagic.Earth develops an alternative to concrete from ocean plastic and landfill-bound plastics. We do it at scale and through decentralised manufacturing. We work with communities and organisations facing the plastic crisis on the frontline to build a systems level solution together.
Philippa Abbott
Philippa explores the critical hypothesis of the future through design and systems thinking, applied in collaborative, cross-cultural, interdisciplinary, design practice. How do we restructure existing paradigms of the local and global systems of culture, society, economics and ecology?
