Description
As its name suggests, Spectra is an illuminating product in every sense of the word. Created from PET packaging waste with elements of Kaleido, colourful, energetic fragments of Spectra's previous life run through its core. The pairing of these flecks with an otherwise translucent aesthetic offers a moment of clarity. Spectra provides a nod to our current reliance on plastic PPE, while serving as a reminder of the polluted waterways that flow directly into our oceans. While its creation may be rooted in a rather uncertain present, though, this beautiful material undoubtedly lights the way to a brighter future.
