Tectona | Bamboo

The collection reinterprets the natural grace of bamboo, an icon of Art Nouveau, in the modern language of aluminum, creating outdoor furniture that blends elegance and durability

The Bamboo collection from Tectona takes inspiration from the characteristic appearance of bamboo canes, a recurring motif in Art Nouveau cabinetmaking but also among master glassmakers and ceramicists. The tube-shaped stems, hollow and separated by knots, form the structure for armchairs, tables, chairs and sofa. The armchair is characterised by the width of the seat, the perfect angle of the backrest and the curved shape of the armrests.

The clean lines are in keeping with the Japanese spirit of the collection. The table, with its crossed base to ensure perfect stability, has a top in veined grey marble. Made from aluminium, a hardwearing material, with high resistance to changes in weather conditions, Bamboo is coloured black with a technique of powder coating that strengthens its resistance to blows. Ideal for terraces and landscaped gardens, the Bamboo lounge projects you into the world of Japanese design.
