Project Overview

1. Description of Our Community

Taiwan is subtropical. The unique climate makes the environment suitable for growing bamboos and rattans. In the past, the immigrants from China in 19th century came were surprised to find the bamboo forests here in Taiwan. At the same time, they brought the craftsmanship of their own, combined the local resources and created the Formosan art of this kind. In 1960s, Taiwan turned into the kingdom of bamboo and rattan weaving. Until now, the local specialty shares its beauty with the world.

2. Summary of Our Project

Humidity and heat is unique to the summer season in Taiwan, so people have a strong tendency of using bamboo and rattan. After the immigrants from China came to Taiwan, they down on local resources and transplanted the craftmanship of rattan woven from their hometown, combined by the skills from Taiwan's aboriginal people and made Taiwan a world-famous country. Not until now, products made of bamboo and rattan are designed to what customers need. Through skillful masters, the products of rattan are unique and sophisticated.
