Henrik Thygesen and Sebastian Jørgensen are the masterminds behind Danish furniture label We Do Wood. Both have carpentry and design backgrounds and are committed to building sustainable, everyday furniture using bamboo and traditional woodworking techniques. "When we make furniture, it is essential that design, quality, and values go hand in hand," their manifesto states. And why bamboo? Because bamboo is a sustainable, environmentally friendly material, and the world's fastest growing grass—making it both an aesthetic and ethical material of choice ready to be put to sophisticated new uses.
