Bamboo Tube Products by Samy Rio

竹子因其天然特性和丰富储量，成为塑料或金属制品的实用替代品。它所需加工更少，甚至本身就是一种半成品。通过重新思考产品的设计与制造，我们可以建立可控、可持续的生产循环。

法国工业设计师 Samy Rio 完成了一系列实验，探索竹材在可塑性和技术性能上的可能性。他重新设计了产品的内部结构，使其更易维修和拆卸。通过研究，Rio 创作了一款吹风机。竹子凭借其强度和耐热性成为高效替代材料；吹风机可轻松拆卸以更换或修复损坏部件，并且巧妙地省去了开关——折叠款通过展开手柄启动，另一款则通过旋转手柄底部启动。

另一件作品是蓝牙音箱。技术部件连接在刚性弹性体上，再以盖子形式与主体结合。控制图标直接雕刻在竹面上，借助集成技术，音箱可与其他设备同步，形成移动音响系统。为完成这些作品，Rio 还专门制造了一台用于加工和预处理竹管的机器。这台机器类似工业车床，顶端配有数控铣床，能将竹子磨成完美的圆管。同一台机器还可用于雕刻、组装和精加工等多种用途。

Bamboo, due to its natural characteristics and abundance, is practical as a substitute for products traditionally produced in plastics or metals. The wood requires considerably less processing, and is in fact, already a semi-finished product for the get-go. by rethinking the design and manufacture of products, it’s possible to create in a controlled, sustainable cycle.

French industrial designer Samy Rio has completed a phase of experimentation surrounding the possibilities of the material in terms of plasticity and technical ability. The internal layout of revised objects are completely redesigned, allowing for greater reparability and easier disassembly. Through research, Rio created a hair dryer. Bamboo is an efficient alternative for the product due to its strength and high resistance capabilities. It can be easily disassembled to replace or fix any broken pieces, and it also creatively gets rid of the need for a switch. In the foldable model, the dryer starts by unfolding the handle. In the other version, a simple rotation of the bottom section of handle starts the unit.

Also completed, is the bluetooth speaker. Technical parts are connected to a rigid elastomer, which is then joined to the body as a cap. The controls icons are directly engraved into the bamboo, and because of integrated technologies, it can be synched with other speakers to create a mobile sound system. To create the works, Rio also created a machine specifically for the processing and prep of bamboo tubes. The machine resembles an industrial lathe topped with a CNC mill that grinds bamboo into perfectly round tubes. the same machine can then be used for a variety of other purposes, including engraving, assembly, and finishing.
