What is bamboo?
Strong, flexible and one of the world's fastest growing plants โ bamboo has many uses that make it an excellent renewable material. Itโs a type of grass and usually grows without the need for fertilizers or irrigation. After being harvested, it grows new shoots that are ready for harvesting after 4-6 years. At IKEA we use bamboo for items like furniture, bathroom decor, baskets and lamps โ and we are constantly exploring more areas of use for this versatile material.
