Furniture made with Bamboo Cane was all the rage in Victorian Times, and re-emerged itself in the 30’s, the 60’s and the 70’s. This resurrection may be a result of the trend that Philippe Stark initiated with his world famous Ghost Chair - a modern interpretation of a Louis XVI chair made in translucent acrylic.

The same concept is happening today with the use of bamboo cane as the muse or model for a new classic that has come to stay.

As a material, bamboo has been a breakthrough in sustainable development due to it’s incredibly fast growth cycle, in contrast to our limited supply of global hardwood. Bamboo has become increasingly popular as a building material and as flooring partly as a result of it’s natural beauty and incredible durability but now this eco-friendly product is ready to take on the furniture, textile, and accessory market!

First used in China over 5000 years ago to create books, food and buildings, Bamboo has been reinterpreted over the years for many purposes. In addition to furniture and flooring, bamboo may also be used for soft materials like bedding and clothing. Bamboo has also been used throughout the centuries in art, but now, you don’t have to look far to find it being used in wallpapers, fabrics, furniture and more as a simple motif.

I like the bamboo bedding. It's very striking in blue.
I wonder if Bamboo will come into design in other ways, not just in interiors and accessories. for example, will it be a new material used in construction or architectural design?
¡Su blog es de nuevo asombroso! El bambú es así que largo y duro hace diseñar tan atractivo. Continúe el buen trabajo y ofrezca más Jonatán Adler en sus blogs.
