A house of straw
This is Kirei , a plywood product from the innovating geniuses at Smith and Fong . Kirei is made from the usually discarded stems of sorghum. That stuff is usually called straw when it has a use and waste when it doesn't have a use.
Sorghum is a grain and the seeds are made into a sweetener that's usually referred to as sorghum molasses . Sorghum molasses' popularity has waned significantly in the US, but it's still a widely cultivated crop in other parts of the world. When it's converted to ethanol, it has a higher yield per pound when compared than corn so there is a growing interested in sorghum cultivation in the US.
Anyhow, Smith and Fong figured out how to make a decorative and structural ply product with the straw it truly is left over from Sorghum processing and it is definitely neat-searching stuff. The desk beneath is made from Kirei and bamboo plywood. What outcomes is a lovely, practical and sustainable office desk. Neat!
Where is it available? Why, at Indigo of course.
