Haute Bamboo by Bo Reudler & Olav Bruin

Dutch designer Bo Reudler and bamboo-architect Olav Bruin have teamed up to produce a series of furniture. Called Haute Bamboo, the range includes a chair, table, and mirror finished in black linseed paint, plus a candle holder coated in copper.
Constructed in part from gathered wood, each piece is naturally unique and contains woods that range from birch and beech to cherry, oak, maple and bamboo with layers of paint to unify each finished work.


For this collection, Bo Reudler left his computer behind and ventured into the woods. He gathered fallen wood to transform into furniture. He started building again with his own hands, knowing everything that went into the process, working consciously, smelling the wood, feeling the structure, composing. The branches were carefully selected for their distinguishing imperfections and curves. Following these shapes led him to the designs: the individual branches were numbered and the pieces are composed using the most beautiful combination of branches. These forms give personality to each piece which will always be different due to the randomness of each branch. All products are hand made.
