Mocamar turns ocean-related and recycled material streams into beautiful design objects for the home. Released in limited editions. Built with an Origin Statement and a 3% revenue giveback for ocean conservation.
Light with a past.
The Mangrove is not another lamp to compare. It's a sculptural table lamp made from recycled fishing nets – material that spent its working life at sea and now carries light instead.
Each piece is printed in small batches, hand-finished in Fort Lauderdale and assembled with UL-certified, U.S.-made electrical components, including an LED bulb manufactured in North Dakota. Every purchase also supports ocean conservation through our 3% giveback.
Each lamp ships with its Origin Statement: where the material comes from, how it was processed, and where 3% of the revenue goes.
Years at sea. Decades in your home.
Fishing nets can spend years at sea before they are recovered, repurposed or discarded. When lost or abandoned, they can continue to harm marine life and coastal ecosystems.
Mocamar does not claim to solve that problem. What we can do is show that material connected to the ocean can become objects worth keeping - the kind you point to when someone asks where it's from.
Recycled fishing net filament is where we start. More materials and more objects will follow – each one documented the same way.
Built by technical hands and a critical eye.
Mocamar was founded by Sebastian Moellers, a German master craftsman with more than two decades of experience in precision manufacturing, mechanics and electronics. He spent eight months developing the process behind The Mangrove until recycled fishing net filament could become a stable, finished object.
Alice is Sebastian's partner in life and its most unsparing critic. She holds no title at Mocamar, but she shaped the direction of this studio from the beginning.
Together, they moved from Germany to South Florida to build a material-driven design brand where the story belongs: close to the ocean, the marinas, the mangroves and the people who live with them every day.
