Message
In this project I want participants not only to make products that you yourself like but also to think about how to link those products to the market. As products debuting in the world gradually stand on their own feet, attract attention, and become a standard, people will become aware of bamboo as a new material. And once that happens, development will be possible in various fields of daily life. By proposing new bamboo products to people in developing countries and assisting them in building a production setup in their own country, we will be able to help developing countries become economically independent. In this way, the design of attractive bamboo products can contribute to the development of an affluent life.
