Recycle strangling vines in London. The pieces on show are all prototypes exploring a new design vocabulary that involves combining traditional woven Apuí fibre with cheap plastic chairs, crude timber constructions and steel structures.

The fibre used, Apuí, suffocates the trees in Brazilian forests and TransPlastic makes an analogy with this, as the woven fibre appears to be smothering the plastic furniture beneath.
