Materials: Bamboo Furniture

Bamboo — the reed-like, woody grass revered the world over for its attractiveness, durability and unbeatable versatility — has a purity and elegance that Ming Dynasty dignitaries, European royals and workaday folks alike have appreciated for centuries. Antique and vintage bamboo furniture can help introduce an air of relaxation in any space, and pairs well with chinoiserie decor and a range of porcelain decorative objects.

So why is bamboo — in its many forms — so enduringly popular? The grass itself is classic-looking and pleasingly geometric, and it evokes a subtle exoticism that’s both glamorous and (due in large part to its sustainability) highly attainable.

Bamboo is harder than mahogany. It’s a rigid and hollow reed, and as such it is not rattan, which is dense, steamable and bendable, and has become its own ultimate decorative-arts chameleon over the years. But like rattan, bamboo is an organic material that provides a link to nature, helping us to bring a bit of the outside in, in an elegant yet no-frills way that seems comforting and familiar. Plus, bamboo’s lightness and slight irregularities make it the perfect counterpoint to heavy-feeling interiors.

For organic modern interiors — or any space that would benefit from a dose of the natural world — a variety of vintage bamboo outdoor furniture, side tables, dining chairs and more can be found on 1stDibs.

Questions About 1950s Bamboo Furniture
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, bamboo furniture can indeed be restored. Repair any mildly broken pieces with some heavy duty wood glue. The exterior can also be refinished by sanding off dirt and grime and repainting the piece. You’ll find a large collection of bamboo items from many of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, bamboo furniture is incredibly durable and as long as it’s cared for properly, it can last a long time. In fact, bamboo can be more resistant to damage than hardwoods, making it a popular choice for new or vintage furniture purchases. Shop a collection of Bamboo furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    To identify bamboo furniture, use a magnifying glass to examine the grain pattern on your piece. Bamboo has a distinct grain consisting of short, straight lines and small nodes running in the same direction across a surface. Whirled or irregular grain patterns typically indicate that a piece is wood, not bamboo. If you wish to learn who produced your furniture, search the item for a maker's mark and then use trusted online resources to identify the manufacturer. Should you need any help with the identification process, consider using the services of a certified appraiser or experienced dealer. On 1stDibs, find a collection of bamboo furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023
    Yes, bamboo is suitable for some outdoor furniture. However, you should only place bamboo pieces designed for outdoor use outside. Caring for and maintaining bamboo outdoor furniture is important for helping it stand the test of time. Shop a range of antique, new and vintage bamboo furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 7, 2024
    The difference between rattan and bamboo furniture comes down to materials. Bamboo is a wood-like material derived from perennial grasses in the Bambusoideae subfamily, while rattan is a stiff material made from vines in the Calamoideae subfamily. Generally, bamboo is heavier and less flexible than rattan, making for weightier furniture. Due to its flexibility, rattan can be woven into wicker or used in its raw form to build furniture. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of rattan and bamboo furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The first step in determining if an item is vintage bamboo is to first make sure it’s bamboo. Bamboo is inflexible, so if there are curved shapes in the design it is actually rattan, not bamboo. Your next step is to understand the style of the piece of furniture, the brand, and look for telltale signs that it is an authentic piece from that brand. Shop a range of antique and modern bamboo furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    1950s furniture is called vintage furniture. Some pieces produced during this period may be considered mid-century modern based on their characteristics. Mid-century modern design refers to the variety of modernism that rose to prominence in the 1940s and ’50s. It displays many of the characteristics of the earlier versions of modernism, including simple forms and a focus on functionality. Other traits common in mid-century modern furniture include unadorned silhouettes, clean lines and mixed materials, emphasizing wood, wool, steel and plastic. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of 1950s furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    It varies how long outdoor bamboo furniture lasts. The quality of the craftsmanship, how much weather exposure pieces receive and how well you care for it will all impact the lifespan of furniture made of bamboo. Antique and vintage bamboo furniture can help introduce an air of relaxation in any space, and pairs well with chinoiserie decor and a range of porcelain decorative objects. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of bamboo furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 13, 2024
    The best-known 1950s furniture style is called mid-century modern. Organically shaped, clean-lined and elegantly simple are three phrases that describe vintage mid-century modern furniture. The style emerged primarily in the years following World War II through creators who believed that good design was an essential part of good living. Mid-century modern designers combined natural and human-made materials, such as teak, rosewood and oak woods as well as steel, fiberglass and molded plywood. Some well-known mid-century modern designers include Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen, Milo Baughman, Florence Knoll, Harry Bertoia, Isamu Noguchi and George Nelson. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of mid-century modern furniture.
