The PANO Chair utilizes the single sheet of ply wood it is cut from nearly to completion. The single board is cut using a high powered water jet. The pieces, once popped out, fit together without the aid of glue, screws, or nails using lever force, wedge methods, and flexed surfaces that secure one another. Studio Lo specializes in innovative uses of materials to craft decorative objects for everyday use with minimal waste. The use their principle of “share cut,” meaning that one cut can be the edge for two useful pieces. At times this appears to leave unnecessary or strange angles but the finished product looks decorative and appropriate. Check out some of the cool purses and slippers that use similar ideology from Studio Lo.
“STUDIO LO works on objects through strong constraints: ethical, institutional, technical and symbolic.”
Using the same water jet cutting technique the Opla Bag and the Pod Slippers are made from a minimal amount of felt and use repeating designs that meld around the form creating visually appealing accessories.

One of the major factors in pollution is consumerism. If you want to save the world, buy used furniture. This whole green capitalist movement is just the “in way” of selling things. I do not see why you “green” people don’t see it. THE LESS YOU BUY NEW; THE LESS POLLUTION. you or the world do not need this chair. you want want want.
