Something new , something fun ..the sound of falling water and bamboo, how much more delicious can it get ? Bamboo does not spoil with water - it has a natural affinity with water and what better way to use bamboo but in a water fountain ..Designer Shahriyar Choudhury has created some wonderful fountains with bamboo in terracotta containers and adding some earthy beauty are the rocks ..Enjoy

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

A bamboo grove is a beautiful place to spend some time .. the wind whistling through the rustling leaves, the stately bamboo plants reaching for the sky, the soothing green ..these are all designed to calm the mind, and soothe the heart.

Bamboo pavilion by NMBA wins gold award

From 14-27 November, The Bamboo Store has been at the India International Trade Fair IITF 2009 as part of the National Mission on Bamboo Applications ( NMBA)'s specially designed bamboo pavilion. We had a display there of our bamboo products and I was conducting the first of its kind bamboo festival called BAMBOOSTIC ! I am happy to report that the festival was a super success with participation from people of all age groups and backgrounds ( from 3 to 60 year olds) who expressed themselves creatively in the painting, slogan and poetry writing competitions, all bamboo themed.
The icing on the cake however is that the NMBA pavilion won the Gold Award for Best Display ....................... putting bamboo definitely in the forefront !!
And while everyone focusses on the problem of climate change and global warming, all of us in the bamboo world including the participants of BAMBOOSTIC would like to offer bamboo as part of the solution to deforestation and other environmental problems.
