Than we research about materials, and we decided use just two: Wood and woven cane, so caracteristic of Brazil. CHALLENGE: The challenge was to fix the woven cane in the wooden channels. In an artisanal way, we used a string to fix it. Finally, we had the chair with anatomic design in woven cane with the comfort and safety that we desire.
