bamboo chairs

bamboo's superior strength and fast growth pace makes it a very sustainable alternative to wood.

the cantilever chair '43' is comprised of forty-three laminated bamboo slats (hence the name) utilizing the structural potential of this fast growing material to create comfort and flexibility. designed by konstantin grcic for /yii/.

/yii/ is a collaborative project organized by NTCRI (National Taiwan Crafts Research Institute) and TDC (Taiwan Design Center), which aims to conserve and transform traditional craft techniques in the contemporary context through design.
