J.R. Davidson: Rattan and Bamboo Furniture

Davidson designed a whole line of outdoor furniture crafted from rattan and bamboo materials, which are flexible and durable enough to withstand the elements. He was inspired by Asian modes of craft-making, classic wooden furniture, and the designs of Paul T. Frankl, an industrial artist.
