BLUE Architecture Studio Designs the Symbiotic Urban Furniture
Amy Duong — April 6, 2023 — Art & Design
Beijing-based BLUE Architecture Studio unveils the Symbiotic Urban Furniture collection, which is a capsule of street furniture that is made from bamboo. It includes seating, tables, as well as accessories that are rooted in the foundations of the city that it is surrounded by -- the capsule is made up of benches, tables, and chairs.
Blue Architecture explains that "Most modern cities have gradually lost their local texture and 'protrusions. The interaction between people and cities is no longer as diverse as it used to be. The natural feeling of bamboo attracts people to touch and sit down. Bamboo is widely used in China and compared to wood, it needs less time to grow – it must be cut periodically for its continuous growth."
