竹林，是英国创意工作室Poetic Lab2014年最新系列作品，这组作品一共有8件（3款咖啡桌，一款长方形餐桌，一款圆桌，一款搁架，两款吊灯），主要使用的材料是竹子和玻璃。

设计师最大限度的保留了竹子这种材料本身的美感。在作品的优雅造型和柔美姿态中，竹林那“月光疏已密，风声起复垂”的韵味被再现。

“Bamboo Forest” is the latest project by London base studio Poetic Lab for Salone del Mobile 2014, includes 8 pieces of furniture and lighting conceived by bamboo and glass. This project aims to explore new possibilities with traditional craftsmanship and contemporary production industry.

Bamboo furniture is typically shaped from a very craft perspective where the beauty comes from the skill. We perceive a particular kind of beauty from bamboo in its original from – the bamboo forests, a combination between elegant shapes and gentle movements. We love its somehow random yet pure beauty, almost as if you can hear the wind whispering among them. Thus we decided to use bamboo material with minimum touch, retaining the aesthetic of the raw material itself.

立足于竹子原本的管状造型，设计师加上不锈钢构件与树脂进一步强化竹子，在防止竹子开裂的同时实现工业制造更多的可能性（当代家具中竹子家具运用竹竿比较少是因为竹竿容易开裂）。材料的成功变革来自于无数的实验，英国最好的工作室与日本顶级竹子供应商合作，终于生产出不破坏原始之美的现代风格家居，展现出材料自然本真的一面。

Benefit from its original tube shape, we reinforce the bamboo pole’s physical property by creating a cost-effective process using stainless steel structure and special resin, we also benefit from this process to create a very minimal yet super strong joint with glass. This process not only creates more possibilities for the industrial process, but also prevent bamboo poles from cracking due to different humidity ‒ the main reason why none of the contemporary furniture uses the original bamboo poles.

This special process with heavy research and countless experiments was made possible by the collaboration with Poetic Lab, Yokoyama – the top Bamboo supplier from Japan, and one of the best UK workshop ‒ Windsor Workshop. This collection is a statement that the crafty material like bamboo pole can also be used on contemporary furniture without break it’s original beauty, as we believe the natural already show us the best state of the material.

The “Bamboo Forest Collection” includes 8 pieces of furniture and lighting – three coffee tables, one rectangular dinning table, one round dinning table, one shelving system and two sets of pendant lights. The combination of bamboo poles and transparent glass create a somehow undefined void space within the pieces, where the objects placed on the table or shelf seemly to be floating inside this void.
