Furniture

The traditional bamboo pole furniture is still readily available on the market. However, for both indoor and especially outdoor use this product has been improved, because of new treatment possibilities reducing the bamboos susceptibility to wood eating insects and various funguses.

The look of bamboo has also been updated, as young designers utilize bamboo in new and contemporary ways.

Using the flattened bamboo, or bamboo slats, and applying different finishes, bamboo furniture can look at home in an ultra-modern, urban apartment, or in a quaint beachside home. As bamboo proves itself as an aesthetic and diverse material more designers will be looking for new applications of this material in the future.
