Designed by Bannavis Andrew Sribyatta, the $700 alpha chair is a bamboo carved work of art that will look stylish in any upscale home or loft. Bonus: in finance, Alpha means 'excess returns' or 'economic profit'. (Note: that's my CFA studying paying off)
"Designed by Bannavis Andrew Sribyatta for PIE, the Bamboo Alpha chair is hand-crafted with fine attention to detail. The smooth, sensous curves exhibit an Asian inspired minimalism that feels right at home in the contemporary world." - Vivavi
