Traditonal techniques help with modern eco values...seen at Stockholm



77 year old Swedish designer Ake Axelsson exhibited 'wood' - an elegant lightweight chair he produced for Gärsnäs - at the stockholm furniture fair 2010. The components are made with a traditional steaming technique that uses a minimal amount of wood.



Use of minimal materials extends to packaging which is recyleable

Looks like there is still time for me ....hopefully
