About Bamboo Leisure Chair
Bamboo Leisure is a leisure chair suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The frame is made of round bamboo poles, and the exposed parts are polished. The seat and the back are woven by hand, using the toughness and elasticity of bamboo to provide comfort. The parts are joined by notching, wrapping and winding instead of metal fittings. Three legs form a triangle that keeps the chair stable. The shape is drawn from the petals of the morning glory flower as they unfold. Bamboo is lighter than wood, so the chair is easy to move.
