Australian designer Christel Hadiwibawa created the P1 and P2 chairs as part of his Honors research on sustainable design. Inspired by the widespread use of Bamboo as scaffolding  in Asia for it's strength, flexibility and durability. The P1 & P2 chairs are made from bamboo, concrete and plantation timber. The strength of each chair is provided through layering thin bamboo strips together to make the most of the material’s flexible properties. This process creates a backrest and seat that customises to the unique ergonomics of each body shape.
