Several years ago, in a nook in the "NoHo" Arts District of North Hollywood, California, Tom Sullivan & Joanne Chen owned and operated a small design and manufacturing studio, focusing on luxury customized director chairs for the movie industry. In their quest for a lighter chair, they experimented with bamboo, long known for its strength vs. weight ratio. The resulting chair was not only lighter but much stronger than the oak they had previously used. Intrigued with using such a renewable, ecologically friendly material they set out to design various house ware products using their "engineered bamboo" and in doing so, developed the world's first bamboo cutting board. Bamboo, they discovered, is harder than maple, making it perfect for a cutting surface. Shortly afterwards, Totally Bamboo was born, launching as the premiere manufacturer for bamboo house ware products. From kitchen accesories to tableware and cutlery, Totally Bamboo plans to change the way the world uses bamboo, as a viable alternative to our precious hardwood trees.
