In “Mother of Pearl”, the goal is to re-think how we perceive plastic as a material for the new age. Plasticiet is essentially a constructive and decorative sheet material, used mainly in (interior) architecture and furniture design. Plasticiet want to create something of value that is made to last and is produced from a local waste source. Inspired by the rough features and patterns of marble and granite, it can create something that is beautiful and durable, and that represents the way we should perceive plastics: as an incredible and precious material.

The motto of Dutch designer duo Marten van Middelkoop (b. 1995, Netherlands) and Joost Dingemans (b. 1993, netherlands) PLASTIC IS THE NEW GOLD! Instead of wasting it, Plasticiet can turn it in something beautiful. They have found a way to process large volumes of plastic waste, and transform it into a sustainable material again. With a visual language inspired by the primal beauty of natural stone, we create building blocks that can be used for a wide range of applications.
