Bugs that Won't Bite: Handcarved Bamboo Insects

Filed under: Decor

I'm not a bug enthusiast by any means, but there's something appealing about these bamboo insects. Maybe it's because they bring back memories from childhood (some good, some bad!), or it could just be that bugs are so inherently "creepy" and it's a rare occasion to get so close to one and see this kind of detail. Individually hand carved from "tiger print" bamboo they're each amazingly lifelike and detailed, and there's even a bamboo cage available if you're worried they might spark to life and fly away. Ranging in size from 2" (the cricket) to 7" (the praying mantis), there are 5 different designs available and prices range from $55-$65 each.

Logue Studio Tables

Filed under: Decor

Logue Studio calls their coffee table a living platform, an ambitious name for a simple yet pleasing concept.. The long table is available in several different sizes and has flip down doors. The four bays in this version can hold remotes, magazines and anything else you want out of sight but within easy reach. The table is made of bamboo with aluminum legs and comes in several different finishes. There are also several versions that have a TV mount but I like it better as a table. Prices start at $1698.

The Alpha Chair is a sleekly minimalist chair that's shape is inspired by the first letter of the Greek alphabet. It is designed by Bannavis Andrew Sribyatta for PIE and is carved from bamboo, a material chosen not only for its durability, beauty and eco-friendliness, but as a nod to the Asian design styles that inspired the piece. The perfect accessory would be something like an Omega footstool, but the designer does not seem to have developed one yet. Price: $700.
