Puyuma Art Village Introduction
Twenty years ago, we embraced a dream and, driven by our passion for bamboo, followed its traces to the hometown of bamboo, Zhushan, where we began to build a dream centered around this material. Bamboo, apart from showcasing its elegant and extraordinary qualities in the writings of ancient scholars, is also used in everyday life for making essential household items. However, early bamboo products were often rough and not durable enough for long-term use. Therefore, Puyuan sought to break through the barriers of bamboo utilization, attempting to combine high-tech techniques with traditional craftsmanship to create laminated bamboo furniture. At that time, due to the complexity of the craftsmanship and higher costs, it could not compete with wooden furniture. Despite facing such setbacks, Puyuan remained steadfast in its love for bamboo. Ten years ago, it utilized various types of bamboo, such as Moso bamboo, fragrant bamboo, square bamboo, and purple bamboo, to showcase the diverse possibilities of bamboo through woven, sculpted, split, laminated, and plain bamboo products. These include bamboo lamps, bamboo curtains, tea sets, flower vases, stationery, decorative items, and landscape installation art, as well as decorative materials like flooring, wall panels, and ceilings. Puyuan also hired bamboo master Chen Gaoming as a technical consultant, hoping to lead a new trend in natural interior decoration in the near future. Thanks to ten years of dedicated management, the products developed by Puyuan have received the Excellence Award at the Life Products Selection Exhibition organized by the National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute.
