STARE & FLARE

THE MAIN ISSUES

Environmental emergency in Borneo, Indonesia

Deforestation – bad effects for the environment

and the creatures living within it

The forest has been burned down, logged and

cleared, replaced with agriculture land

The wildlife habitat of the endangered species,

such as orangutans and elephants, has been

destroyed

Long-term bad impacts for the future“Only after the last tree has been cut, the last fish has been caught, only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.” – Cree Indian Prophesy

THE PROBLEM SOLVER - BAMBOO

Bamboo is actually a perennial evergreen grass, not a tree

Can be used as the alternate material to replace timber wood

Renewable resources

Easy to grow in any kind of environment

Relatively low maintenance

The fastest growing plant on earth

Can be harvested in 3 – 5 years

Produce 30% more oxygen that the trees

Self-generating

Can be used for food sources, medicine, building and construction

materials, furniture, bedding, kitchen utensils, flooring (as strong as

the Oak), textiles, musical instruments, paper, etc.

STARE & FLARE

Green design, sustainable

Reduce, reuse, recycle

Environmental friendly, waste-conscious

manner

THE IDEAS

Provide alternate resources that give less

impact on the planet, such as bamboo

Preserve the ‘endangered’ materials

Research of other possible renewable

materials

THE CONCEPT

Provide customized goods (mainly from

bamboo) mixed with other organic and

natural materials and more personal services

THE PROJECTS

Divided into two phases:

1. Breeding, farming, harvesting with care

2. Producing into raw materials (for

housing), customized furniture, textiles,

food sources, medicine, paper, etc.

Work on goods and services, from simple

idea and materials, we turn it into

something big, unthinkable, and

unpredictable

The workers are the local or indigenous people

and we also have a community fair trade

program

Participate in a reforestation and rehabilitation

projects and support the environmental

movements and organizations

Collaborate with the governments, designers,

and creative people in creative industries; to

socialize and raise people awareness about the

future of our planet

HOW DO WE WORK
