The P1 and P2 Chairs by Christel Hadiwibawa
P1 and P2 - Sustainable design research. Inspired by buildings across Asia that use bamboo scaffolding for its properties of strength, flexibility and durability. Identifies ways of using everyday materials to produce a chair that is accessible, comfortable and environmentally friendly. Made from bamboo, concrete and plantation timber, the strength of each chair is provided through layering of thin bamboo strips together to make the most of the material's flexible properties. From this, a backrest is created that customises to the unique ergonomics of each body shape. Concrete is used for a heavy base support. Interesting exploration of chairs with an Asian identity.

Synopsis - Dr. Parnassus has the extraordinary gift of inspiring the imaginations of others. Helped by his traveling theatre troupe, including his sarcastic and cynical sidekick Percy and versatile young player Anton, Parnassus offers audience members the chance to transcend mundane reality by passing through a magical mirror into a fantastic universe of limitless imagination. However, Parnassus' magic comes at a price. For centuries he's been gambling with the devil, Mr. Nick who is coming to collect his prize -- Parnassus' precious daughter, Valentina on her upcoming 16th birthday. Oblivious to her rapidly approaching fate, Valentina falls for Tony, a charming outsider with motives of his own. In order to save his daughter and redeem himself, Parnassus makes one final bet with Mr. Nick, which sends Tony and Valentina and the entire theatre troupe on a ride of twists and turns, in and out of London and the Imaginarium's spectacular landscape. Review - Sadly for me this movie is more about Lily Cole than Heath Ledger. Too messy probably due to his departure and too much CGI. Definitely could have been better with the potential of the plot.
