jair straschnow: grassworks exhibition at aram gallery

‘easychair’ by jair straschnow

grassworks are a series of experiments in self-assembly furniture designs by jair straschnow, a range that is designed to be simple, intelligent, space-saving and wholly sustainable.

the furniture is made from bamboo laminate sheets and straschnow has designed an interlocking system of component parts in order to assemble each piece with dry mechanical fastening rather than glue and screws. the interlocking components allow the furniture to be flat packed.

the exhibition, which will include a double, ‘stacking’ trestle dining table, a picnic table and bench, a convertible easy/dining chair and a set of bookshelves, places emphasis on the details of the joinery that is the essence of this clever collection.

grassworks exhibition will be on display at the aram gallery, london from september 17 until october 31, 2009.
