A Little Taste of PIE

Indoor, outdoor, residential or commercial spaces that want to inject a lil eco-style into their environment should have a little taste of PIE's eco-friendly furniture.
PIE studio [Project Import Export, Inc.] was created by, Bannavis
Andrew Sribyatta, a Miami based designer, who wants to explore the
ultimate concept of "Living Space" in relation to the complexity
of nature. PIE studio was created and launched its first line in
Los Angeles. Bannavis Andrew Sribyatta, a Pratt Institute and
Columbia University School of Architecture graduate, worked
several years in eminent architectural firms in Los Angeles, New
York and Miami prior to unveil his own design studio, Flux, inc.
which focuses on the build environment and PIE studio focuses on
furniture and objects. The restlessness love of design allows him
to manage his time on architecture, interior design and furniture
design all at the same time.

PIE studio furniture is hand-crafted mostly from natural materials
and designed to imitate nature. PIE’s eco-friendly furniture is
composed of water hyacinth, liana, bamboo, rattan and recyclable
polyethylene. These materials are renewable; however, some of
these natural materials are considered harmful to the ecosystem,
and some are naturally and rapidly grown in abundance without
having any specific usage. These plants are often cut down and
destroyed to help keep the balance in the environment. PIE studio
takes these wasteful natural materials to create modern green
furniture. In doing so, PIE studio is helping the environment by
putting these menacing plants into good use. PIE’s curvaceous
profiles and rich textures generate warmth and sensuality to its
furniture. PIE’s furniture is suitable indoor and outdoor use;
perfect for commercial and residential settings. PIE studio
design philosophy is to make furniture an art form and make art
function as furniture. Each year PIE studio reveals its new
product lines on the West Coast at CAboom Design Show, Los Angeles
and East Coast at ICFF [International Contemporary Furniture Fair]
in New York City.

PIE studio has completed significant projects in collaboration
with top design firms such as the Rockwell Group, Crème Design,
the Getty’s Group and Stan Allen Architects with projects such as
Nobu Restaurants, Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Ave, Distrito
Restaurants, James Hotel, Parker Meridient, and Hyatt Regency to
name a few. PIE studio has been featured in several popular books
