Detailed Description

The project aims at designing a knock-down bar stool in full bamboo for KONBAC in Kudal, Maharashtra. In today's world, globalisation has opened up access to customers all over the world. To ensure the success of the products in distant markets, it is important that they are easy to transport and are light in weight. This could help reduce the transport cost. The depletion of natural resources and its side effects have been a cause for great concern. Environmentalists have stressed the use of renewable resources. Green design is looked upon as a solution, and work in this field requires an hour. Bamboo is the fastest-growing biomass on earth. It is endowed with an exclusive and unique look. If the richness of bamboo is enhanced in furniture, it will cater to a niche market. Well-designed and finished bamboo furniture is being positioned as a premium range of furniture in the international market. If ease of transport is achieved by transporting in a knocked-down state, it will prove to be an important development for the bamboo furniture market. The existing bamboo furniture manufactured at KONBAC does not have this feature. This poses difficulty in transport and increases the end cost to the customer substantially. This also creates limitations on business expansion.
