Product: TurriniBy Armchair Bee

Designers Antoine Fritsch and Vivien Durisotti collaborated with French furniture company TurriniBy to design Bee, a collection made using bamboo fiber and multilayered birch. The collection, which includes a chair, armchair (shown), ottoman, bench, and dining table, features curved lines and an alveolar profile that, similar to the construction of a biplane wing, helps reduce the amount of raw material needed to create the lightweight structure. turriniby.com
