We looked at bamboo veneer being promoted by the DOST, laminated it with resin and turned them into structural components for furniture…

… opening new opportunities for community based enterprises to subcontract components for furniture makers ..especially furniture exporters

We partnered with an inventor and adopted his technology where Bamboo is used as Reinforcement in a low cost building system..

… and commissioned an environmental architect to envision its use for Resort Rooms..

… Incorporating various ways of using bamboo in the resort rooms….

We found that new plastic and metal technologies have displaced natural fibers woven into furniture….

… as resort owners are willing to pay for weather resistant and maintenance free products…. …..specifically for decks and outdoor furniture……

… leaving the Bamboo Craftsmen behind!

So.. we took the bamboo pole, cut it to 2 to 3 inch widths, cleaned out the nodes and the stomach, bent them into desired shapes with the help of blank holes, heat, moulds and clamps ….

Once shaped and cooled, the components were laminated together with resin, further milled, assembled with KD hardware and finished with weather resistant resins…

putting bamboo furniture outdoors….. as lounges,

… ..as folding chairs and recliners ….

..as stackable dining chairs and classroom desks.

We took the native bamboo mats, had them woven into specific sizes ….

… .Laminated them into seats replacing molded plastic and plywood altogether …..

..further using it as lighting diffusers, bathroom tiles and counter tops as envisioned by the architect!

… including turning Waste into Cash ,[object Object],[object Object]
