Straw furniture... is it possible?! Biome says yes!

I was recently contacted by this young, talented designer from Nottingham Trent University studying furniture and product design. The images below are from her final year project where she has designed 100% bio-degradable home furniture. This project was designed to help prevent the waste issues connected to our current ‘throw away society’.

The young designer, Sheryl Stephenson says “I have chosen to use strawboard which is a material currently being used as a formaldehyde free alternative to conventional wood based particle boards. As the name suggests strawboard is made completely of straw making it perfectly sustainable material. Each component would be constructed using simple jointing techniques and finished with an eco-friendly, water based varnish. With this furniture I want to illustrate to consumers how stylish environmentally furniture can look when designed well”

Biome Lifestyle loves her designs – well done Sheryl!
