Mao Zhu, Bamboo (China)<br />
“A product’s lifetime is crucial to the environmental<br />
load. It is a going concern if the aim<br />
is to operate in the most sustainable way<br />
possible. Products in use for a long time lead<br />
to a significantly less environmental impact<br />
than those wasted after a few years and<br />
needing regular replacement. The joy and<br />
satisfaction of a product that also stays<br />
spectacular and functional year after year,<br />
just gives sustainability a different meaning.”<br />
Bamboo grows extremely fast and is ready to harvest in<br />
4-6 years. Bamboo regenerates itself from its existing root<br />
system and is one of the fastest growing plants on earth.<br />
Giving 25 times more wood per hectare per year than<br />
traditional hardwood forests, it is an extremely sustainable<br />
material, and our natural choice for furniture.<br />
Fresh bamboo has a yellowish natural color, however, the<br />
bamboo we use for our furniture has gone through a<br />
steaming process (carbonizing) to gain the warm glow<br />
similar to untreated oak or teakwood.<br />
Vertical carbonized bamboo<br />
We have developed vertical carbonized bamboo production<br />
for use in our furniture. The vertical bamboo strips are glued<br />
and pressed together giving a slim and straight-line pattern<br />
with subdued bamboo shoot visible at the surface.<br />
