Bamboo Soft Lamp

In 'Bamboo Soft Lamp', designer Junjie Zhang used the natural elasticity of bamboo as the main material of the lampshade and brought the smooth lines of bamboo to their extreme. At the beginning of the design process Zhang used the computer to simulate the shape of the bamboo and in the final production the thin bamboo strips were matched with the latitude and longitude lines of the digital model. It shows the unique beauty and softness of bamboo.
