Bamboo

LE BAMBOU

fabulous bamboo;

it's strong, water resistant, renewable, and beautiful

it can be cut, bent, rolled out, stained and painted  

it has been made into furniture, flooring, fountains, utensils and even bicycles

it has been mimicked, copied, and reproduced

it has been glued, nailed, tied, and joined.

and it is called

the material of the future

mimicked in a 70's chair

copied in a tall elegant bookcase

a little air of The Sheltering Sky

it has inspired contemporary designers

including Tiffany's

au revoir.
