The Quality and Beauty of Eco-Friendly Bamboo

Purchasing Eco-Friendly Bamboo Furniture from Haiku Designs contributes to environmental stewardship and the practice of keeping our planet clean and safe from harmful chemicals. Renewable resources ensure that we will be able to continue creating and developing beauty from nature.

Renewable Resources

Bamboo is an eco-friendly, renewable resource grown in sustainable forests. Bamboo can grow into full maturity in just about 4 years or so.

Warp, Chip & Crack Resistant

Known for its natural beauty and flexibility, bamboo hardwood is less likely to warp, chip or crack than other solid woods.

30% Stronger Than Oak

The bamboo hardwood used in all Haiku Designs furniture is 30% stronger than solid oak.

Premium Quality Materials

We only use solid bamboo wood — No bamboo laminate, MDF board, particle board interior or other low quality materials.

Ultra Low Off-gassing

Our Eco-Friendly bamboo furniture reduces off-gassing and toxic emissions to ultra low levels for your health and for the Earth.

100% Natural Materials

Our furniture is built from 100% Natural Bamboo and will naturally stay consistently durable while also being mold resistant.

Bamboo serves as a strong carbon sequester, releasing 35% more oxygen into the atmosphere than a tree, helping to reduce greenhouse gases that contribute to climate change. Make a difference in not only your health, but also the world by choosing Eco-Friendly Bamboo Furniture from Haiku Designs.

Each bamboo culm used in the production of Haiku Designs Eco-Friendly Bamboo Furniture products is individually selected and hand harvested. See the farmer’s age markers on the bamboo culms. No heavy equipment is brought into the bamboo forests which would damage the integrity of the forest floors. This preserves the eco-system of the native bamboo forest, and leaves the bamboo root system intact, from which new bamboo shoots will emerge and grow the following year.

Our eco-friendly bamboo furniture qualifies for MR6 (Rapidly Renewable Materials), MR7 (FSC Certified Wood Products) and IEQ4.5 (Low Emitting Material-Systems Furniture and Seating) credits!
