Comfortable, balance, relax, harmony are all the feeling that the natural feeling provide to us. Many interior designers try even to live in the rural area or the rain-forest alike environment to get such feeling for executing to their house design. And the question is not all the people can have such feeling easily especially for the technical people.

The small sampan is from the innovation of the village people of using the cheapest option of ocean shipment. It's for fishing and cross-river transportation and even a mobile hawker table. It's common that most of the fishermen use it for selling fish in the pier.

The another one is from the skating, where most of the skating materials are made with wood, that one is made with bamboo. In fact, the user do not care it, the appearance attract people to buy it. The more important is the outlook product designer.It shows a hints that bamboo is a good wood alternative. We feed a wood for at least 10 years of getting it to be furniture. And it's hard to born of a tree, it needs many caring and consume many land resources. For the bamboo, in 2 or maximum 3 years, it can have the industrial use scale. And the caring cost for the bamboo is very low. The price is lower, lighter in weight for saving shipment cost and even environmental.

The tree helps us for the oxygen and control of the unstable weather. It needs to seek for the alternative, and the bmaboo perform it well.

More and more hi-tech products combine with the environmental element, such as the Asus use bamboo for casing, Dell did and other PC accessories did too. That wave comes to the mobile phone too, the accessories are started to use also the bamboo. Iphone is a typical good example of the hi-tech products, where the cover casing use the bamboo to add the environmental factor there. It remain the area and space for operating the phone over all buttons and screen.

For the commercial users, such design comes also the new selling elements making the clear differentiation of the traditional plastic casing and bamboo casing. Besides, the hand feeling of it is also different too.

Finally, we would like to share a bamboo utilities design. It's made with bamboo too, and comes with really cool design. Mechanically, it can even roll together. What we pay for that value? It's for the design of that bamboo utilities. It's also the contribution from the designer to make the value-added function of the traditional utilities made with bamboo. Since the bamboo utilities exist for more than thousand years old from Asia, and there were never sell in high price.

bamboo art, different feeling of the niche materials provide the different visual art

From my blog, it shows many bamboo products, and i want to share with you about the bamboo art. We have been using wood for more than thousand years to be one of the materials for crafting, which is art. And we are seldom to use the bamboo to be the materials for the art. Recently, due to the raising of the environmental concept, the design start to use bamboo to craft and explore their idea. Which makes bamboo to be a more high class materials due to the outlook design.

The outlook or the art of any stuffs are even more important than the materials. We are writing the blog about bamboo, and we always still alert to ourself, the priority is the design, if no good design, none of nay materials would work. Our ancestors use brass, ceramic to make the art, which makes such materials to get much more higher price. And now, the bamboo are shaping the same history. We use the design to make such bamboo materials to be an art materials.

Secondly, we decor them in the right place. Lets say in the following photos, we decor them in the right way, which allows everyone can "read" why the bamboo is a main materials and good materials for the art as well as home decor.

Amazing applications of bamboo

An attractive eye-ball stuffs are only as good as using the special materials. It does not need to be grand, it needs to be special and easy get understand by anyone. In that blog, I collect many bamboo applications where the designer use their idea to explore a special products which made with low cost raw materials, bamboo, to make people love it and buy it. Such as those following 2 product photos, when we keep them into the bathroom especially the resort hotel, it's a sort of design value instead of the low cost materials or the items using in the village. That's the big contribution and value from the designer.

Else of it, the designer also use it for making the nice home decor where brings the feeling to the grand-mother period. They were the generation used such feeling of the product and the bamboo is the materials can realize such feeling. People also use the bamboo to make the virtual environmental laptop. We know Asus launch a bamboo casing laptop, it attracted the reporting from the press. Else of Asus, other shop keeper also use their creation to attract the eye-balls of other people too from the using of bamboo.

 bamboo railway 

Which is a extremely good ideas contributing to the developing and undeveloped country's transportation. The cost is cheap, no need special skill or tool, needs only labor to do it. It needs just cut the bamboo and assembly to be a long tube and make it likely the railway. Then, the cargo can move onto those bamboo railway.

It's again the innovation from the small races in the world. They base on the natural resources to build such rail for their transportation.

Bamboo comes more application than the people living in the city can create. And bamboo is only a sample about the using of the natural resources. Those small races in the world comes much more small and big idea of using the natural resources.

More and more creativity from bamboo

From 2008, we start to collect the bamboo application to our blog, on 2009, much more bamboo application is boomed. We never stop of exciting of seeing more and more bamboo applications where brings the world more fun, environmental and new using experience. Most of the materials got dropped of the sales volume such as plastic, wood and the similar rarely resources. Bamboo is conversely marked its increasing from the past year.

It grows up fast, people use bamboo with no guilty feeling of killing the environment. The designer makes more nice outlook on it. It's no longer use it indoor, also the outdoor with big creativity. Due to the high acceptance, bamboo enter also the office and high class products too.

The bamboo business is under the way of changing from a niche product to be a board acceptance products.

Bamboo are usually for building the niche shelter such as stage, frame, entertainment place, fun room, wild campus etc. As one of the biggest bamboo consumption country in the world, Japan, is currently coming up many new applications. In that house, it's built with bamboo and it gets rid of the low class feeling of using the bamboo. The environmental, natural and fresh feeling are the new feeling of bamboo that brings to the user's mind.

Secondly, bamboo are mainly also for the outdoor purpose likely one of the photos demo. In Asia, it helps to reduce the cost of the building or outdoor building service.That idea inspire from a Japanese designer to use bamboo for the frame of a house instead of playing mainly for the frame of building.

In the architect history, there are many revolution of the building materials, brick, soil, cement, metal, wood, grass etc. Bamboo were only for decor alike purpose only. And now, we use bamboo to build the house and many other materials too. such as plastic, clothes, nylon etc. Surely bamboo is only a starting helping to re-shape the building creation.
