Grass, not plywood, forms the core of Studio TK's new Clique Luxe furniture
Plantd makes the panels from perennial grasses as an alternative to plywood; they serve as the non-visible structural cores inside the Clique Luxe modules.
Studio TK, a North Carolina furniture maker, released the Clique Luxe modular collection using Plantd's pressed-grass panels as hidden structural cores. Plantd makes the panels from perennial grasses and markets them as a plywood substitute.
The grass material sits inside the furniture and is not visible in the finished product. The release is a commercial application of grass-based board in modular office furniture.
