Banksia chair - Edition of 8

In light of the recent WA native logging ban and global sustainability concerns, could we look to utilise a trees waste products as a furniture making material, instead of chopping down the tree itself? A chair was chosen to give form to this proposition taking the beautifully intricate discarded seed pods of Banksia Grandis (a species endemic to WA) and using traditional joinery methods to create a new vernacular material language. The chair as a typology in itself was a declaration that not only is this a visually intriguing material, it is also capable of meeting the demands of functional design.

This chair is part of a special editioned series of Banksia works that focus on an elevated use of the material. The collection presents pieces in editions of 8 + 1 A.P, with the next edition of this chair being number 5 of 8.
