Abstract
As bamboo grows fast, it attracts attention as a sustainable natural resource, having excellent mechanical properties. In this report, we propose a shelf which could not easily overturn during an earthquake, utilizing such characteristics of bamboo, in order to reduce the risk of human injury. Sensory evaluation and simulation of structural analysis were conducted on the design of a shelf with a hollow structure using laminated bamboo as the main material. As a result, visual characteristics and its rationality in structure were fairly confirmed, and the possibility of the hollow structure furniture design utilizing the bamboo characteristics has been shown.
