How Kiri Bamboo makes custom-made bamboo furniture (Part 3)

As promised in our last post, let’s walk through the production stage using a real-life example: a bespoke bamboo master bed. The client chose a design from our previous sample but requested modifications, including a taller headboard and added bamboo slats for mattress support.

Our craftsmen began by selecting large-diameter bamboo poles for the bed frame. Next, they measured and scraped off the outer skin of the poles to achieve a uniform color and smooth surface. This labor-intensive step is optional—clients decide whether to retain bamboo’s natural texture or opt for a polished finish.

The team sealed the inner holes of the bamboo poles and crafted bamboo pins to connect the frame. Given the bed’s size, dozens of pins and smaller-diameter poles were used to ensure stability.

Before finalizing details, the bed was partially assembled to verify measurements. Bamboo slats were then added for mattress support, followed by a full test assembly to confirm all components fit seamlessly.

The bed was carefully disassembled for transport. Due to its size, our team personally delivers and reassembles such pieces onsite—ensuring every joint is secure and every detail aligns with the client’s vision.

Here’s the bamboo master bed in its final form at the client’s home. The client loved the result, and we’re confident this piece will bring decades of natural elegance to their space.
