After being harvested, the culms of bamboo are split across the length into long strips. These strips are first flattened with a roller, after which they are boiled and finally pressed into solid plates out of which bamboo furniture can be made.

At this stage we have natural bamboo plates which have a typical light, almost creamy, colour. However, the bamboo strips or plates can also first be “carbonized” before we start working with them, wich causes the colour of the material to darken (ranging from amber to a dark shade). In the below section you can read more about this carbonization process.

Once this raw material reaches us, our designers can finally start crafting it into the beautiful designs we envisioned. Throughout this process, special focus is put on emphasizing the natural character of the bamboo. As you pass your hands over the surface of our tables and feel each perfectly aligned grain, you will sense and experience  this level of perfection.
