Pennyfields chair

Words by James McLachlan

Bamboo seems to be all the rage at the moment, a fact not lost on Pli designer Alex Whitney who combined steel and bamboo to produce this rather lovely chair. Called Pennyfields, its simplicity and sustainable qualities helped Whitney scoop Metropolitan Works Metamorphosis award for innovative design. Pli are releasing 50 limited edition signed versions, which will be numbered, signed and hand assembled by the designer. The chair features a laminated Bamboo back and seat, a powder-coated steel frame and turned bamboo legs. Very nice, too.
