Green Cube Chair

Nature's Cast products are made from the forest waste such as bark, leaves, and twigs that litter the forest floor in Compostela, Province of Cebu, The Philippines. The forest debris is shredded by machine, and using a water based binder, is shaped into furniture like the green cube chair shown here, decorative furnishings like vases, and interior decor including wall plaques, all of which are designed by local artists.
