Bamboo Dining-Room Furniture Is the Eco-Friendly Option

Posted by HaikuDesigns on March 22nd, 2016

When exploring your options for furnishing your dining room, the cultural elegance of Bamboo furniture is a champion of ritual and tradition.  Bamboo marries together the personas of strength, durability, and flexibility with loveliness and grace.   It binds the deep emotions of a profoundly sacred culture with the form of unfathomable richness found in exotic faraway lands.

The Woody Grass that Thrives

In the field and science of ecology, the concept of sustainability is defined as the ability to persevere or endure or sustain. This is how and why biological systems constantly diversify over the course of time. To be more specific, sustainability is present when we can consume a natural resource without it being depleted or destroyed. So if it involves harmonious practices and methods that do not completely deplete or destroy natural resources, then this is what is known as sustainability. Some good examples of sustainable biological systems are old-growth forests or wetlands and the woody grass forests of bamboo, one of the most sustainable natural resources on the planet.

Should Bamboo Win the Beauty Contest?

All woods have a unique grain.  Bamboo grains range from rich and deep coloration and striations to subtle and nearly solid. Bamboo is also exceptional for its texture, its natural sheen and its hard finish. When made into furniture, bamboo’s grain has a unique symmetry to it that other wood grains don’t have. Some of the newer bamboo furniture designs are combining traditional yellow bamboo with roasted bamboo and its chocolate brown color. There is also a beauty in bamboo’s tactile features—light, strong and flexible, with endless applications. Finally, bamboo has a mysterious, ineffable quality that can’t be described. Maybe I’m biased, and maybe it’s simply because bamboo is a grass and not a tree, but it’s even beautiful when it’s growing. https://www.haikudesigns.com/edo-dining-room-set.htm

Eco-Friendly is Bamboo’s Middle Name

One of the many things that differentiate conventional companies from Green companies that value sustainability and eco-friendly products are the ways they evaluate and rate their merchandise. One such assessment tool, the “E-1” rating-system for furniture construction is adopted as the strictest standardization of quality.  Designed by the European Union, obtaining the “E-1” Rating involves measuring the amount of chemicals used during the manufacturing process. It also carefully measures the degree and type of off-gassing from toxic chemicals found in glues and finishes. After recording the data, every piece of furniture is given a rating.  “E-1” is the highest rank and represents a zero off-gassing emissions rate.  The lowest rank is “E-5” and is considered toxic and contains high levels of volatile organic chemicals which will likely affect your air quality and your health.  For more information about eco-friendly products, visit . . . https://www.haikudesigns.com/
