Grasswood turns bamboo into handcrafted Macbook Pro cases
In today’s age when the exotic variety of fabrics becomes increasingly rare, especially the woods, bamboo provides a very sustainable and feasible designer option. With a span of 3 to 4 months, a bamboo tree rises to full height, which can then be cut down for various uses, which in this case has become the cover for the Macbook Pro. Grasswood has taken a single solid sheet of bamboo; hand carved each casing into shape, and then burnished and oiled them to ready the fabric for the perfect finishing and high quality built. But this too involves further intricacies, including manual application of tung oil, along with a double coating of polyurethane which strengthens the fiber from the inside. Then great care is taken to manually create the woolen fabrication of the casings interiors, and also the leather strap outside, which too undergo similar levels of detailed treatments. The strapping also serves as a locking system for the case, making it easy to carry and also great to look at.
