Welcome to Widebamboo: Where Natural Artistry Meets Everyday Life.
Founded in 2023 and rooted in the rich craft traditions of China, we are committed to transforming the raw beauty of natural materials into elegant, eco-friendly essentials for homes around the world.

Our love for sustainability and our commitment to quality drive everything we do.
Brand Story - A Journey into Nature's Magic
Before I arrived in Fujian and Zhejiang, I knew bamboo forests could spread. But I had no real understanding of their magic. That all changed one rainy night in Fujian.
I was deep in sleep, the sound of rain lulling me into a peaceful dream. Suddenly, I was awakened by a strange rustling. My bed shook! Confused, I sat up and realized — my bed was lifted by bamboo shoots!
What a sight! Those slender green stalks, bursting with life, amazed me. I had never witnessed such rapid growth before. It was as if nature was reminding me of its power and resilience. In that moment, I felt a connection, a spark igniting within me.
This unforgettable experience became my gateway into the world of natural crafts. I began with the versatility of bamboo—its strength, sustainability, and beauty. I learned how it can be transformed into everything from furniture to kitchenware. Now, my passion has grown. That same respect for nature's power and spirit guides me as I explore other materials—the intricate weaves of grass, the warm grain of wood, the rustic charm of rattan.
Each piece tells a story of craftsmanship and a deep respect for the natural world. I invite you to join me on this journey. Discover the wonders of these materials, and let them inspire you too!

Our Craft & Philosophy
At Widebamboo, our approach is rooted in a deep respect for the material and a blend of traditional ideas with modern aesthetics.
Our philosophy is simple: let the material guide the design. At every step, from sourcing to production, we pay meticulous attention to detail. The journey begins with the raw materials, which we carefully select from sustainable sources, using methods that respect the environment and preserve nature's ability to regenerate. These materials then reach our craftsmen, who shape, polish, and transform them into functional works of art.
Our Bamboo Process, for example, includes:
- Harvesting: Bamboo is harvested at the optimal age, typically between 3 to 5 years, ensuring maximum strength and flexibility while preserving the surrounding ecosystem.
- Initial Cleaning: The harvested bamboo is thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, debris, and any outer layers that may affect quality, ensuring it is free from contaminants.
- Special Treatment: Bamboo undergoes a special treatment to enhance durability and resistance to pests and fungi, often involving soaking in protective solutions.
- Steam Cooking: The bamboo is steam-cooked to soften the fibers and eliminate residual sugars that attract insects, while also sterilizing the material.
- Drying and Moisture Control: After steam cooking, the bamboo is carefully dried to reduce moisture content, ensuring levels are maintained below 7%. This controlled process prevents warping or cracking and preserves the bamboo's structural integrity.
- Mold Prevention: A mold prevention treatment is applied post-drying to protect against fungal growth during storage and usage.
- Sugar Removal: A sugar removal process eliminates any remaining sugars, preventing insect infestations and decay, thus extending the product's lifespan.
- Cutting and Shaping: The processed bamboo is cut and shaped according to specific product designs, utilizing precision tools for high-quality finishes.
- Finishing Touches: Finally, bamboo products undergo finishing processes, including sanding, polishing, and applying natural oils or coatings to enhance appearance and durability.
This same level of care and respect is applied to every material we work with, ensuring each product reflects its natural beauty and strength. Every piece is then meticulously packaged to meet international shipping standards for its safe arrival at your home.
