Over the last few years, we have witnessed the ever-increasing popularity of the bamboo-based consumer goods, from furniture to autos to architecture. Every now and then, we come across a thing that’s made from bamboo, one of nature’s most sustainable resources. Going green seems to be the only way to go these days, and designers, architects and consumer-goods companies from around the globe are considering eco-friendly options. For the same, bamboo is being widely used to create a range of things. Here we have for you a collection of incredible designs made from bamboo.
The origami-inspired Folded Bamboo House
Designer Ming Tang is making sure that no one sleeps in the open sky once our beautiful houses have been swallowed by the furious powers of nature. Tang has come up with beautiful origami-inspired Folded Bamboo Houses that are intended to be used as temporary shelters in the consequences of an earthquake. These shelters are constructed from sustainable bamboo poles that are pre-assembled into rigid geometric shapes, which can be folded into a variety of shapes.
The Wind and Water Cafe
Vietnamese architect Vo Trong Nghia is creating radiantly beautiful structures using bamboo, as it is lightweight, flexible and strong. The Wind and Water Cafe in Binh Duong is one of the very interestingly and beautifully designed structures. It truly depicts how Nghia uses the cheap, accessible material to maximum effect. The bamboo shaping the half-moon complex is sturdy yet flexible, using simple aerodynamic theory to use light and wind to its advantage.
The Bamboo Forest House
The Bamboo Forest House forms an unusual view that will undoubtedly interest many. Designed and built by Roewu Architects from the UK, the structure has a unique exterior with its bamboo screen. The luxurious bamboo facade was incorporated into the design to provide privacy and security while still allowing natural light and air to flow in. In addition, the remarkable building also includes a karaoke lounge and a roof deck.
Butterfly Bamboo Homes
Here is a beautiful structure that supports a noble cause apart from green design. The project on the Thai Burmese border blends vernacular-inspired architecture with social responsibility in aiding the difficulties of Karen refugee orphans. Five students with humanitarian design organization TYIN Tegnestue built the six woven bamboo huts, dubbed Soe Ker Tie, or The Butterfly Huts. Made from bamboo, the huts incorporating features like natural ventilation and rainwater harvesting will give shelter to 24 orphans.
The Mason Lane Farm Operations Facility
The Mason Lane Farm Operations Facility in North Carolina is a beautiful and sustainable construction. The eco-farm facility designed by De Leon & Primmer Architecture Workshop consists of two barns constructed using sustainable materials like locally-sourced bamboo and prefab panels and trusses. The structure is a new complex for farm equipment servicing, re-fueling and storage, as well as providing seasonal storage for grain and hay. It supports 2,000 acres of property utilized for agriculture, recreation, wildlife habitat and land conservation purposes.
The Woven House
The trend of green design is catching on at a pace no one ever imagined. Consumers are becoming environmentally conscious, they are demanding “green design” and taking an interest in the total life-cycle of a product, including its long-term environmental impact. Catering to this trend, designer Søren Korsgaard has put bamboo, the traditional yet sustainable raw material, to erect an ultra-modern architectural structure. His unusually shaped house is called the Woven House, and is like a weaver’s nest.
Indonesian bamboo bicycle
Bicycles have always been considered as an eco-friendly means of transport. But this time the green ride goes even greener with the Indonesian bamboo bicycle. Part of the Ex J.R Planck Collection, this aesthetically beautiful bike is crafted from bamboo. The entire frame, including the comfortable seat, is made using bamboo. Several heads will turn to check out this one.
Asus Ecobook Bamboo Laptop
We have seen computers evolve over the years. Since the world is adapting environmental friendly features, how can the computer industry lag behind. The Asus Ecobook Bamboo Laptop is made using 50% recyclable materials. To reflect this environmentally minded design philosophy, the Ecobook is covered with smooth strips of bamboo.
Bamboo Chandelier
With Mother Nature as its muse, this chandelier offers just a hint of the Orient. This bamboo chandelier is made from three split bamboo, interlaced lights in a hexagon loop around the central split bamboo task lamp. Your home will thank you for investing in such a precious treasure. Although a thoroughly green fixture should be a CFL or LED, a set of small wattage clear incandescent bulbs make way cool shadows on the ceiling. This splendid family of bamboo finished fixture will wonderfully adorn your summer home or vacation resort.
