Bamboo
Being so solid, light and flexible at the same time, bamboo can be used in countless ways, for food, production, textile or decorative use. In Asia, where it grows abundantly, it can have different meanings: in China, its longevity is considered as a wish for a long life; in India it represents friendship and in Japan it is considered as a sacred barrier protecting shintoistic temples. We only manufacture the roots of the plant through a flame treatment: the flaming makes the outside of the material stronger and caramelizes and darkens the surface. No artificial varnish is used.
