PLASTIC DINNER

This upcycling project was done in partnership with Hanwha Galleria, WWF, and designer Seungji Mun as part of Galleria Department Store's RIGHT! OCEAN campaign to tackle the problem of marine pollution.

Plastic Dinner는 해양쓰레기 문제를 근절하기위한 갤러리아백화점의 RIGHT! OCEAN 캠패인의 일환으로 한화 갤러리아와 WWF 그리고 문승지작가가 협업하여 진행한 업사이클링 프로젝트다.

WWF utilizes a process that involves shredding marine plastics collected by the organization into flakes. These flakes are then melted in an oven to create "nurungji,” which is used to easily produce chairs and furniture. Similar to how nurungji (scorched rice) sticks to the bottom of a pot, the plastic flakes adhere to the surface of molds designed with metal as they melt under heat. As the oven cools, the plastic solidifies, giving shape to the structure of the furniture.

WWF에서 수거한 해양 플라스틱을 플레이크화 하고 그 플레이크를 오븐에 녹여 "누룽지"를 만드는 원리를 활용해 손쉽게 의자 및 가구를 생산해낸다. 누룽지가 냄비에 눌러 붙듯이 플라스틱 플레이크가 열에 녹으며 금속으로 디자인된 몰드의 표면에 달라붙게 되고 오븐이 식으면서 플라스틱이 고체화 되는 과정에서 가구의 구조를 갖는 형태를 띄게된다.
