Twenty years ago, we embraced a dream. Fueled by a passion for bamboo, we followed its trail to Zhushan—the hometown of bamboo—and began weaving a bamboo dream here. Bamboo, celebrated by ancient literati for its elegance and grace, also served as everyday essentials for common folk. Yet early bamboo crafts were coarse and perishable, ill-suited for long-term use. Puyuan thus broke through the limitations of bamboo application, marrying high technology with traditional craftsmanship to create laminated-bamboo furniture. At the time, the intricate workmanship and high costs left it unable to compete with wooden furniture. Undaunted, Puyuan, ever devoted to bamboo, spent the past decade employing every species—Moso, Makino, square, black—and every technique—weaving, carving, splitting, laminating, whole-culm—to reveal bamboo’s full potential in home goods: lamps, screens, tea sets, vases, stationery, decorative installations, and even flooring, wall paneling, and ceiling materials. We invited master bamboo artist Chen Kao-ming as technical consultant, aiming to spark a natural interior-design movement in the near future. A decade of devoted effort has earned Puyuan’s creations the top honor in the daily-use ware competition held by the National Taiwan Craft Research Institute.
