Bamboo Spring Chair
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 12.14.06
This chair has a lot of history; it has the cantilevered form of Marcel Breuer's 1929 Cesca chair, mixed with a bit of the solidity of Gerrit Reitveld's zig-zag chair. But it is, of course, bamboo: "The bamboo’s inherent strength allows the Spring a super-thin curvaceous profile and ensures a light weight chair. The sensuous curves shine with dense grain, while the materials flexibility allows a gentle soothing rocking motion. An ergonomic design, the bamboo chair provides great comfort as well as modern classic style." which is certainly more than you can say for Reitveld. ::Modern Bamboo via ::Trendir
