Emily-Claire and Erik Goksøyr
Out of Ocean
Architect duo Emily-Claire and Erik Goksøyr live
in Hunnebostrand with the ocean and plastic as neighbors. In 2016, the idea was formed to combine design with material research of ocean plastics from the Swedish west coast, intending to create value from the waste. Through experimental material design, an interest emerged in creating products in which the user can recognize the recycled artifacts that the object is composed of, retaining part of the object’s material history. Each tray and candle holder is unique and imperfect, just like the objects that float ashore. The couple also run a research project where they have developed a facade material for the construction industry.
