Breathing Bamboo

Breathing Bamboo by Akash Bakshi from india

designer's own words:

A partition to separate spaces partially and has a slight movement that gives it an extra dimension.
dynamism in form, the partition contracts and expand slowly and repeatedly making a little sound too, as the way we breathe, the contraction and expansion is controlled by a set of seven motors connected at seven points with fishing wires. the partition comes with an option of motorized controls, that can change its form, these changes can be made using touch phones and tabs using dedicated applications.
the product comes flat packed and gives an option to user to custom install it. the flat pack partition comes with the height of 100mm and that can be stretched up to 1800mm. breathing bamboo comes with widths of 1800mm and 2400mm (Also depends upon bamboo breed). Same product can be made at architectural scale too, that other than adding value climatologically can also help giving building different moods.
usage of bamboo gives it additional tactility and elasticity other than keeping it sustainable and unique.
