BAMBOOM!


iBamboo is a natural speaker made from a single natural material, bamboo. The natural resonance of the bamboo amplifies the sound produced by the built-in speaker in the iPhone. It is 100% eco-friendly, efficient to manufacture, and produces little waste. These speakers combine the high-tech of the modern day with the simplicity and aesthetics of nature. Since bamboo is a natural material, no two iBamboos are alike. Every piece has the same functional parameters, but each one is unique in its appearance and beauty. As an added benefit, iBamboo improves the feng-shui of your desk or whatever other place you put it.


Despite being made from a material considered stronger than some plastics and metal, users seem worried that the beautifully simple iPhone amplification device may get damaged if made part of their regular travel kit. So here's the new iBamboo Urban design, which is shaped just like its natural elder but is made from recycled plastic.

PERCHED ON A TREE

The eco-PERCH concept is based on Blue Forest's famous tree houses. It’s natural, organic geometry maximises the relationship between the inside space and the outdoor setting, ensuring the structure sits harmoniously within the landscape.
The building sleeps 4 people and is delivered, assembled and commissioned in approximately 5 days (subject to site preparation). The eco-PERCH design is flexible and can be adapted to suit your site where existing infrastructure is already in place. With options to assemble your building on the ground or in the treetops there are infinite possibilities for creating accommodation with a difference. To simplify the planning requirements the building has been designed to conform with the Caravan & Mobile Homes Act.

FISHIOUSNESS

We often talk about sutenaible energy sources, but it's rare to think about the impact that what we choose to eat have on the environment.
Thanks to Portland's jewel Bamboosushi, the first certified sustainable sushi restaurant in the world, and his 7 months in the making video campaign, maybe the next we swallow a temaki we will be conscious about what we're actually doing.
All miniatures are 100% handcrafted.
