MaterialsThis furniture piece is made from 85% wheat straw, 5% bamboo, and 10% metal.Using a fast growing grass such as wheat straw relieves pressure on timber supplies. Straw is an agricultural waste product that is annually renewed. Bamboo is a fast growing species which is harvested after 5-6 years leaving the root system intact for further stem growth.
The Grass cabinet and table contains no formaldehyde as would a veneered MDF. The finish is natural vegetable oil and wax. There is a small amount of solvent-free polyurethane adhesive edging bond which may contain trace VOCs, though less than with conventional adhesive.
Every part of the Grass range is suitable for reuse or composting. The designer is working with the Composting Association to certify the natural fibre boards suitable for agricultural compost under their accreditation scheme.
