Detailed Description

Today not only all restaurants but also urban homes and many rural houses are having dining sets in their houses. A dining chair is an everyday life product that we use most of the time in a day while having food. Most of the time, these dining chairs are made up of industrial materials like plastic or wood. As increased global warming is a result of cutting trees, we should find an alternative for wood. Bamboo is a naturally occurring composite material that grows abundantly in most tropical countries. Cellulose fibres are aligned along the length of the bamboo, providing maximum tensile flexural strength and rigidity in that direction. So by combining other complimentary materials and bamboo, we can conquer the environmental issues related to the extra demand for wood. Bamboo is a familiar plant from a place like Goa. So using this material for Goan restaurants will give an absolutely identifiable feeling to the environment.
