sthrawn by noelle anne suministrado from philippines
designer's own words:
STHRAWN (accent table)
For the past decade, it has been a campaign to eliminate or minimize the use of plastic because of its harmful effects to the environment. In some fast foods, and beverage stores, some use paper cups instead of plastic cups, but still use plastic straws.
And when straws are a once used, they thrown away after. By putting them together, through eco-adhesives and putting many twisted papers inside straws (to strengthen straws), these straws can turn into an accent table. It conveys life with the color that it brings. Sthrawn is not only an accent table, it can also be used as a magazine rack and shelf.
