Ever walked into a room and felt your shoulders drop?
That's what we built at the in Melbourne this week. The [Lifed] Pavilion is a calm, glowing space with walls made entirely of our woven bamboo matchstick screening. The same material you might know as , used here at full room scale, filtering light and creating privacy without closing the space in.
It's a good preview of what bamboo screening can do at home: soften harsh light, add natural texture, screen off a room or an outdoor area without blocking it out completely. And because bamboo regrows from its own roots after harvest, it's one of the most renewable materials you can build with. This pavilion will be reused, come back to us and continue its life in projects around Australia.
If you work in design, entry is free for trade professionals, so come and stand inside it before the show wraps up on Friday 17th July at the . And if you're dreaming up changes at home, the same material is ready when you are: browse our matchstick blinds and bamboo screening at houseofbamboo.com.au or visit us in Botany.
Thanks to , and for such a wonderful collaboration.
