Bamboo itself is a grass, but stems grow and thicken, particularly in the larger species to become a wood product, and bamboo is strong enough not only for use in domestic accessories, it can also be used for commercial bridgework. Choosing bamboo for a lamp stand or as the structure for a lampshade gives you a reliable and hardwearing product, there is nothing “flimsy” about bamboo.
Bamboo can also appear as a fabric to be used in a lamp structure made of bamboo or other materials. Bamboo can be made into fabric form by processes which are natural, such as are used for processing flax – or undergo chemical treatments. If you are looking for lamp shade fabric made from bamboo because you see it as being an artistic and natural product, you are advised to make sure that your bamboo fabric has been made by natural process and not by chemical spinning, bamboo rayon processed by chemical means is not to be regarded as the natural bamboo fabric product.
Bamboo grows in many places in the world, and using bamboo as a lamp shade holder, or as bamboo lamp shades themselves, whether providing form or fabric or both, is nothing new. Bamboo lamp shades can provide your home with an exotic luxury feel – in traditional or contemporary style.
