CLT(Cross Laminated Timber), a wood panel made by gluing wood with its fibers aligned perpendicular to one another, is highly regarded, especially in Europe, as an environmentally friendly building material which also offers superior insulating properties, earthquake resistance, and dimensional stability.
In order to protect the beautiful Lake Biwa, forest thinning and felling of mature forests is practiced to, thereby, improve the environment for trees to grow and to maintain healthy forests.
Furthermore, this bench was made from scraps generated during the process of manufacturing building materials, thus contributing to the efficient use of resources.
