designed by henrik tjaerby, the bambu series consists of a chair, dining table, bench and side table, all made of laminated bamboo.
bambu series has twice the compressive strength of concrete and the same tensile strength-to-weight ration as steel.
artek wants to bring a new presence to this material and develop it with modern technology and believes that this versatile, fast renewable and incredibly strong material is an underused resource in contemporary design and hopes to demonstrate its potential as a material for the 21st century.
founded in 1935 by four young finns led by the visionary modern architect alvar aalto. artek was set up in 1935 to market aalto's furniture, lamps and textiles, particularly on international markets where artek focused its operations from the initial stages.
artek was more than a commercial enterprise; it also aimed at developing the expression of its founders' modernistic spirit. it was an industrial arts center where the art and design trends of the time converged and continues to function in the same spirit and has solidified its position as a timely center for design, keeping a close watch on today's evolving fashions, lifestyle changes and new developments in the industry.
