[Login to edit this information]What does it do?
Bambienti design and produce a range of furniture and accessories for the home and garden that are all handmade using Bamboo, which is sustainably sourced and produced by family run artisan workshops.How is it social?
Bambienti chooses bamboo for all of its products as an alternative to regular hardwood because the company does not believe there is enough sustainable conventional timber available to cater for commercial and domestic requirements. Bamboo is a fast-growing and naturally sustainable woody grass. It helps regenerate degraded land, producing high quantities of oxygen and removing significant amounts of carbon from the atmosphere.
Bambienti's designs are handmade by a selected network of family run, cottage industry style workshops. The business prefers these medium sized workshops because they provide artisans with better conditions and the space to be creative. The company believes this allows it to do much more creatively than it could working with larger factories.
By designing and producing product alternatives using only bamboo, Bambienti is supporting a growing movement that seeks to reduce man's dependence on diminishing timber resources and in so doing reduce our negative impact on the environment.
What is its business model?

Bambienti also caters for demand from consumers through its own website shop. The Company's products include a wide range of tables, seats, storage units, shelving, kitchen and dining items, garden water features and accessories.
