On March 27, 2015, the Earth Hour day this day, the first “Public interest of Tesla”(PIT) salon was grandly held in Matsu’s Shanghai Flagship Store. The event was co-sponsored by Tesla Home and Nexus Global Youth Summit in cooperation with Matsu.

On this special occasion, relevant personnel from Tesla Home， Nexus Global Youth Summit and Matsu as well as Mr. Ma Yiman, secretary-general of Office Furniture Professional Committee under Shanghai Furniture Association, jointly attended the salon, calling on everyone to “pass on love and care, accumulate the power of good” and contribute to the public good.

“Public interest of Tesla(PIT)” provides a more appropriate and special definition: for entities or individuals, only by fulfilling our due social responsibilities can we make real contributions to the society or others. In this way, the fake public good in pursuit of vanity can be avoided and justify the real public good. The donation of products non-conforming to state quality standards is by no means doing public good. Above all, we must ensure that the public and community can truly benefit from the public good, and try our best to avoid any unsafe factors hidden in the donation, negligent or deliberate.

Bamboo Bicycle

Nowadays, the explosive increase of vehicles and electric bicycles on road has significantly squeezes the market share of bicycles, even making bicycles antiques in museums. However, bicycling as a traditional means of transportation is the healthiest and most environmental-friendly. During the salon, the bicycle fan MarkovicNebojsa shared the bamboo bicycle designed himself.

The frame of the bamboo bicycle can guarantee safe riding; moreover, the natural properties of bamboo can make the bicycle operate more freely, have the function of shock absorption, make the bicycle body more lightweight and ensure the handlebar turn reliably. Above all, bamboo is a kind of true renewable resource, with fast growth rate (even one meter a day) and is possibly the most eco-friendly and sustainable material for bicycle manufacturing. Bamboo manages to find a good balance point between the opposites as the traditional and the modern, full of a sense of permanent beauty.

After the salon event, MarkovicNebojsa presented the bamboo bicycle to Matsu Shanghai Flagship Store as a souvenir for display. It represents the “Public interest of Tesla(PIT)” team and Matsu’s common adherence and witness of sustainable design. In addition, the integration of the bamboo bicycle and Matsu’s eco-friendly office space reflected the concept of inter-infiltration between healthy life and green office.
