Bamboo Furniture
Bamboo is an exciting furniture medium for a number of reasons.


Bamboo is both beautiful and strong. Don't be fooled by its delicate, subtle grain. Bamboo is as strong as steel. And it doesn't shrink and swell with changes in humidity, as wood does.


Bamboo is eco-friendly. It grows quickly - six years to harvest, compared to 20 years for a hardwood tree. It thrives while stabilizing soil on steep, rocky slopes without the addition of pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. When cut, bamboo does not need to be replanted; new culms grow directly from the existing root system. And it produces 35% more oxygen than a similar sized stand of trees.


Not all bamboos are created equal. Bamboo panels are made by laminating strips of bamboo together. Many bamboo laminates are made with toxic glues. Ours isn't. We use Plyboo™, which is LEED certified by the U.S. Green Building Council.

All of our bamboo furniture is finished with Agualente™ Water-Borne Lacquer, which is durable, formaldehyde-free, and low in volatile organic compounds.
