How to take good care of your bamboo furniture
STORYTELLING
about our bamboo collection
At Tine K Home we are particularly exited about our bamboo collection as bamboo has been a core part of our company from the very beginning. We love bamboo so much, that even after many years of designing bamboo furniture, we barely feel like we have started, and are certain that we have only scratched the surface of the possibilities.
We have found bamboo in Vietnam on one of our first trips and immediately felt in love. Over time we have developed the collection and our collection now ranges from small stools to large sunbeds, to tables, couches, tables and everything in between.
Our bamboo collection is hand-crafted in family owned workshops located in the Saigon region. We have worked with the families for many years and we cherish our relationship.
about our bamboo
Bamboo is sustainably produced and grown. As it is the fastest-growing plant in the world bamboo is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and help fight global warming. In that way, bamboo is a great alternative to the slower-growing and resource-demanding hardwood. Additionally, bamboo does not require any type of pesticides, fertilizers or herbicides to grow and reproduce effectively.
In short, bamboo has amazing natural abilities to multiply. It can survive and reproduce without problems. The bamboo poles we use in production need 60 days to 4 years to grow fully.
about caring for our bamboo
