the idea of bamboo starts taking shape through some market researches where she discovers that\u00a0 bamboo is not only an economically viable source of fibers and building material but is also highly renewable and one of the most respected resource when issued from well managed forests. On a regular bases, Jos\u00e9e gives university lectures to stimulate young people&#8217;s interest in sustainable material and provides Lunch &#8216;n&#8217; Learn sessions to architectural and design firms in order to shed some real light on true sustainable bamboo.<\/p>\n<p>Business success today is dependent upon developing mutually beneficial relationships that promotes trust between customers and salespeople and so transparency and integrity are not just a buzzword that we include in our list of core values, they are proactively sought after and implemented in our day to day relationship with our customers and through our webpages.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you are a designer, an architect, a real estate developer or a homeowner looking for a cutting edge design, we hope you&#8217;ll enjoy surfing our webpages as our goal ultimately is to make you see bamboo like you&#8217;ve never seen it before.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><div class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_0 et_pb_row_empty\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> About&#8230;. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; We live and breathe bamboo&#8230;.
