Eco-Friendly Sun Loungers
With
Summer upon us Bambienti
unveil a colourful range of Eco-Friendly Sun Loungers which are
hand-carved entirely out of Bamboo.
Bambienti
is a new brand that designs and produces a range of products that are
ethically sourced, eco friendly and made using naturally sustainable
Bamboo.
Hand-carved
to last from solid, strong and durable Bamboo they are available in
Single (W 65 cm
x D 120 cm H 15 cm)
and Double (W
120 cm x D 120 cm H 15 cm)
sizes
and come with the added benefit of being foldable enabling easy
movement and storage. Each Sun Lounger can be easily set to various
recline positions to ensure maximum comfort. All of our Sun Loungers
are put through a vigorous finishing process to ensure they are
weather proof.
Standard
colours include Cherry Oak, Dark Teak, Oak and Green.
With
a
high bearing capacity and tensile strength comparable to steel Bamboo
is perfect for garden and outdoor furniture.
At
Bambienti we have come to believe that current levels of sustainable
timber resources are insufficient to supply all of our domestic and
commercial requirements. We also believe that an unaltered demand for
timber based products inevitably encourages illegal logging. This in
turn contributes to the degradation of land and those communities who
depend upon it.
Therefore
we decided to look for alternatives and chose Bamboo as the principal
material for our products.
There
are five key reasons behind this decision
(1)
Bamboo requires no replanting after harvesting and is naturally
sustainable.
(2)
Bamboo grows extremely quickly. Up to one metre a day in some
instances.
(3)
Bamboo provides natural resistance for a planet with increasing CO2
emissions. It releases more oxygen than the equivalent strands of
trees, as much
as 35% in some instances and is capable of removing up to 12 tons of
carbon-dioxide from the air per hectare (10,000 m2).
(4)
Bamboo can be grown comfortably in the top soil of degraded land.
This is
something that is not easy to do with conventional trees. We can
therefore use Bamboo to counteract the damage caused by illegal
logging.
(5) By
designing and making products using Bamboo we hope to support
a
necessary process that reduces our over reliance upon already limited
sustainable timber resources.

Giving someone a lift – whats the worst that could happen?
At the risk of boring you to tears with my first sentence, I’d like to tell you about my second favourite economic concept (conversely I’ll keep you on the edge of your seat for a b
