Dr.B is an exploration into the cultural relevance of bamboo
in a Western context and production possibilities with rubber. Qualities
of bamboo are celebrated and treated in an unforseen process. Lengths of
Bamboo are strapped into shape and dipped into a contrasting bright yellow
rubber. Once cured, the rubber acts as a bonding agent, holding the seating
structures together.
