The strength of Bamboo opens up the possibility of reducing the material for creating furniture. Nibou was an attempt to create an ergonomic chair by working with the principle of bending bamboo in Simple and frugal ways. The form and shape is inspired by a posture of the person sitting . This project was part of the collaboration with Racines de France for their 'Smart Bamboo Project' for implementation in Nigeria. It is an Eco innovative solution that will benefit Nigerians in a sustainable way.
