BAMBOO

Bamboo, a story of material

Bamboo isn't wood, but a giant grass — a distinction that explains its record growth rate and exceptional strength. This duality has always fascinated: a stem that looks light, yet strong enough to carry a frame or withstand the strongest winds. At Maison Douineau, we select extra-hard bamboo, carefully dried, to bring out this strength for your indoor and outdoor projects alike.

Our bamboo: uses and applications

Our range comes in three main families: decorative bamboo, for interior design — shelves, partitions, screens; bamboo fencing and screens, for a natural privacy screen in the garden; and bamboo plant stakes, to support your plantings. Our bamboo weaving — mats, tatami, rugs — completes this range for a woven, natural interior look.

Choosing and caring for your bamboo

Your choice of diameter and length depends on the intended use: a thin cane for a plant stake, a wider one for a load-bearing structure or fencing. Dry bamboo needs no special care indoors; outdoors, occasional treatment against moisture extends its lifespan. Its natural hardness lets it withstand the weather without warping.
