Bamboo and Folk Art









At The Bamboo Store, we are forever trying out new things as we believe bamboo is an amazing material with the potential to take any form or function. Bored of the same old same old glass and metal wall lights, we hit upon the idea of using handmade paper from Sikkim and bamboo to create some simple wall lights ...and to embellish them we had Madhubani artist Pradyumna Kumar do some exquisite black and white drawings. For table top accessories, we worked with artist Mantu Chitrakar and his family to create some amazing colourful tea-light holders. Enjoy...

The most amazing thing about bamboo for me is that there are no limits to how you can use bamboo and what you can do with bamboo - from food to flooring, from basket to bridge, from flute to furniture, bamboo can be used for so many things ..it is truly a Miracle Grass. At The Bamboo Store, we are pleased to showcase more than 50 bamboo products at any given time
