In 2008, Bangalore-based designer Sandeep Sangaru created a set
of light but strong chairs, tables and bookshelves using split
bamboo poles laminated together.
It took six years and several drawings/prototypes for Truss-Me—a
collection of bamboo furniture—to achieve the finesse it has today.
Truss-Me won the Red Dot Design Award (Best of the Best) in 2009
and the Design for Asia Award (Gold) at the Hong Kong Design
Centre 2011.
Sangaru struggles to sell his award-winning Truss-Me in the domestic
market.
