Gorilla Furniture: Aspire to Inspire
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 03.29.06
Based on the belief that our surrounding physical environment has an immeasurable effect on our daily lives, Gorilla Furniture designs and builds furniture to make that environment as pleasing, healthy and beautiful as possible. Gorilla makes extensive use of bamboo and non-toxic finishes, and really strives to create unique pieces that represent the best possible solution for the project, whether its a square dining table that seats eight or a chair that functions equally as a piece of art or place to sit. Fresh off showing at CA|Boom 3 this past weekend, to us, they look like a good place to go for custom, unique furniture with a sustainable twist. More pictures of their work after the jump. ::Gorilla Furniture via tipster Steve.

Seeing bamboo furniture often makes me want to build my own. Can you find bamboo plywood at normal building supply stores?
