This tower stacking game is made of blocks that contain salvaged ocean plastic, both as a practical way to clean the unfortunate rubbish, but also a reminder of our throwaway plastic culture.
Designed by Shoma Furui of Whod Design, the simple yet attractive pieces were personally collected by Furui on walks he took on the beaches of his native Japan.
Entitled Debris, the game reminds us of the environment we’ve created, and how we need to do better.
“I designed a balance tower game made from upcycled ocean plastic debris, reimagining the traditional game where “stacking blocks higher and higher until they topple signifies loss” with a metaphor reflecting how accumulating trash disrupts the environment.
The game “debris” fosters communal fun while prompting players to engage with marine environmental issues.”
