Eco-Friendly Design

Made out of one complete piece of laminated bamboo, this minimalist chair is a great example of bentwood - but with a sustainable twist. This type of design reduces the need for component parts which means less demand for materials and manufacture.

From an environmental viewpoint the chair uses bamboo which is a 100% natural, rapidly renewable, and biodegradable material. It is a much better alternative to hardwood timber.

With bamboo, consider the amount of shipping as this uses precious fuel resources and brings down the eco-credentials if transported from overseas. The finish used on the bamboo is also important. Does it contain chemicals or synthetics? Always check with the manufacturer for the technical data. This will help you make an all round eco-evaluation.
