Diamond Head Road

Not Your Mother's Natural Resource

We were invited up to Green School a few weeks ago to attend a party given by some of the teachers at their on-campus bamboo housing community.

Thanks to John Hardy, all of the buildings at Green School are architectural wonders constructed mostly of bamboo - circular in design representing the spiral or circle of life. 

Not only is bamboo architecture making a modern splash on Bali's international creative scene, bamboo furniture has also come a long way since the large, elephant bamboo style beds and couches that were coming out of Bali in droves during the nineties.

I fell in love with a John Hardy chair that I could have sworn had been flown in from a modern designer in Denmark - sleek curved lines and that signature clean Danish look. 

Bamboo is definitely on our radar here at Diamond Head Road - design inspiration for 2011?
