Bamboo
Bamboo embodies lightness, strength and clean modern lines. Our artisans split mature bamboo into fine strips, then weave or laminate them into graceful forms — from trays and organizers to statement accents for everyday living.
Why Bamboo?
- Remarkably strong: High strength-to-weight ratio for daily use.
- Fresh, minimal look: Smooth grain and contemporary profiles.
- Renewable resource: Fast-growing grass with minimal inputs.
- Versatile: Works across Scandinavian, Japandi and modern rustic styles.
How It’s Made
- Harvest: Mature culms are selected for stability and quality.
- Preparation: Splitting, planing and smoothing into uniform strips.
- Forming: Weaving or laminating over molds for shape and strength.
- Finish: Sanded and sealed with low-VOC, water-based finishes where needed.
Care & Maintenance
- Wipe with a dry or slightly damp cloth; dry immediately.
- Avoid soaking and harsh detergents.
- Keep away from persistent heat sources and direct, prolonged sunlight.
- Food-contact trays: use a liner for oily or colored foods to prevent stains.
Sustainability & Ethics
Bamboo is one of the world’s fastest-renewing natural materials. Our bamboo range is hand-finished in Vietnam by artisans we know and trust, under fair and transparent conditions.
Bamboo FAQs
Is bamboo the same as rattan?
No. Bamboo is a hollow grass with nodes; rattan is a solid vine. Both are natural, but they look and behave differently.
Can bamboo go in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wipe only; avoid prolonged water exposure.
Will bamboo darken?
Mild mellowing may occur with age; avoid direct sun to keep tones even.
Is the finish food-safe?
Where finishes are used, they are water-based. Use a liner for oily/colored foods to prevent staining.
