Love bamboo but don't know how to build with it?
Well, we know how and are not shy about teaching others how to as well... when you purchase material from Bamboo DNA, you are also joining a network of experienced bamboo builders.
We pride ourselves on the integrity and quality of our material and work, and will help guide you in the decisions that will give you as much satisfaction as it does us. |

We built a 70 foot tall sculpture at the Coachella music festival from April 25-27th, 2008... it remained standing through the Stagecoach country music festival the following weekend, from May 2-4th.
The piece was built largely through volunteer help and was designed by Gerard Minakawa.
