The original aspiration of the design is “Recycling bring out best of nature”. Wheat is one of the three major grain crops in the world. As we get ear from the wheat every year there were quite a lot of “useless” straw left in the nature. We use the recycled wheat straw as our raw material, fill them in the aligned mold and get desired shape with steel plate moulding, a straw chair comes into shape after these processing. What’s particularly interesting is the special treatment to the cross sections of the chair. For one side of the chair, the cross section was cut neatly and carefully polished, showing rootstock in the profile. For the other side of the chair, the growth texture was reserved to demonstrate great vitality of the wheat. 

As a young design firm in China, Roarc Renew would like to contribute the recycling of nature with interesting and pragmatic designs that not only environment friendly, but also have its unique logic and implications.
