Coldharbour’s first wall tile collection is made from 52% recycled HDPE fishing nets, one of the largest contributors to ocean pollution. Every square meter of Coldharbour Tiles repurposes 3.5 kilos of fishing gear. Fishing gear which could easily have ended up in landfills or worse, as ghost nets, entangling turtles, seals and other marine animals.

London-based illustrator Monika Forsberg collaborated with Coldharbour Tiles on the “One Fish, Two Fish” collection, which features playful fish and waves. Her design brilliantly captures the movement and wonder of the ocean. This unique collection recently won a German Design Award for Best Eco Design.
