Bamboo has been used to create objects
for countless years. The Bamboo-Clip takes
advantage of this natural material’s strength
and flexibility in a simple way and with minimal
production input.
Bamboo has good fl exibility in two directions,
and the Bamboo-Clip harnesses this quality.
The Bamboo-Clip has been designed for a
simple production procedure, requiring minimal
labour and associated pollution. Using the
Bamboo-Clip simply requires the clip to be
snapped off the main sheet.
The circular cut at the end of the main channel cut prevents the clip from tearing apart. Visually appealing and easy to store, the Bamboo-Clip presents a clever use of a natural material for a task that suits its property of flexibility. |
