Description

Lampang Stool

is entirely and skillfully handmade & handwoven by using natural bamboo and durable polypropylene (PP) strings. It was crafted on a small scale by artists, and each piece has its own personality, unlike mass-produced items.

What is polypropylene (PP)?

Polypropylene, which is derived from petroleum, is considered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be a safer choice than some other types of plastics. It’s not known to cause cancer in humans, and it’s less flammable in fabrics than wool.

 

Multi-function stool

The stool will go just as well as a stool, side table, extra seat, footstool, and more. It will also easily find its place either indoors or outdoors like on the terrace.

 

Navy blue and white is a new star..

There is no doubt that the color partnership of navy and white has to be one of the most popular color combinations around.  Whether you love the Coastal look, the Hamptons style of East Coast America or just a classic country style look – Navy Blue and White fits the bill. White is a classic high-contrast mate that complements the deep color and gives blue a dynamic boost.

About Lampang

For generations Thai folks in the northern regions such as Chiang Mai, Lampang and Lamphun are famous for making a living in wooden furniture products from local wood. Their workpieces are noted for their outstanding quality and design.

Beginning with the construction of a wooden house, it has now evolved into utilities like as tables, cupboards, beds, benches, and other household décor.

 

From the local bamboo..

The raw material preparation process starts from cut bamboo into segments. Then cut into small strips and bring to a boil. Break into small strips. After drying in the sun, the form is woven. When done, it is smoked again for bug repellent and durability.

Bamboo, a local plant that saves the world

In the past, the area in Lampang Province had problems with monoculture crops causing soil issue and forest degradation. Bamboo, an indigenous plant, has emerged as a key role in resolving conflicts between forests and humans. Because bamboo can store a large amount of water – it can absorb 5 times more carbon dioxide than other plants and release 35% more oxygen, planting bamboo can significantly revive the ecosystem, and become a new source that generates income for the community.

 

Is Lampang Stool a right choice for you?

Stools can improve body posture by..

  • allowing you to sit in a more natural sitting position ( spine in a natural curve), as opposed to a traditional chair’s sitting position that encourages a straight back
  • Legs, and in particular, thighs will slope downward when sitting on a stool. This encourages your pelvis and lower back into a more neutral position
  • You will begin to do “active sitting” on a stool, as opposed to slouching which messes up back and core muscles.

Tips when sitting on a stool..

  • Sit high up – this may involve raising the elevation of the stool if possible
  • Avoid crossing your legs
  • Keep your rear close to the back end of the stool seat
  • Sit at an elevation that allows your knees to be below your hip level
  • Get up to walk around regularly
  • Keep your body’s weight balanced as evenly as possible between your hips
