The Living Edge Bamboo Stool is a completely biodegradable piece of furniture that takes advantage of materials, adhesives, and lashes that all natural degrade. Another focus of the design was on the interesting qualities of pipes when viewed from different orthographic perspectives. Taking advantage of this characteristic and applying it to the bent plywood frame allowed for a cohesive natural rounded element of the product that could be consistently found throughout the piece.
