Wambamboo

Wambamboo is sustainable furniture designed by Kent Gration in Queensland Australia.

His Wambamboo range of furniture uses sustainable production methods including recyclable materials, water-based finishes, energy-saving fluorescent lamps and ballasts and where possible, natural fibres.

The Costello seat, below, is an ergonomically designed prototype seat. Its form creates a mosaic of cross-laminated bamboo which highlights the exotic nature of the material.

The Abbott lamp is a bamboo veneer shade which emits a warm natural glow in any space it illuminates. The structural frame is produced from cross-laminated bamboo and all components are flat-packable for easy erection. The lamp also incorporates energy-efficient bulbs and universal electronic ballasts.
