Why choose a bamboo sofa?
You may assume that bamboo belongs in the realm of your parents’ 1980s conservatory. However, it’s seeing a resurgence and becoming more popular than ever due to the trend for the boho aesthetic. A vintage bamboo sofa may appear lightweight, but it’s also durable and versatile. Bamboo is stronger than mahogany and is naturally resistant to pests, moisture and rot. This makes a bamboo garden sofa a perfect choice for outdoor dinner parties or simply relaxing with pals in the balmy summer months. Bamboo was used in furniture making from the early 20th century up to the chintzy period of the 1980s. Which era are you going to explore?
The history of bamboo
The gorgeous bamboo couch isn’t a 1970s iteration. It has a long history. Growing mainly across Asia, bamboo has a mysterious air about it as it’s so different from more traditional hardwoods. It was George IV who first brought bamboo to the attention of the masses when he added faux bamboo pieces to the Brighton Pavillion in 1815. Furniture makers began experimenting with bamboo to create bamboo armchairs, tables, and seating that was more relaxed than the rigid and chunky pieces of the mid-century. The most famous designer to embrace the joy of bamboo was Franco Albini. His ‘lobster pot’ ottoman is an iconic piece of bamboo furniture that is becoming increasingly scarce and sought-after.
Welcome a vintage bamboo sofa into your home and enjoy a comfortable, versatile, and exotic piece of furniture that can be adored for decades to come. In with the old, out with the new.
