Bamboo Trends is a curatorial handbook developed with the Taiwan Bamboo Society for a showcase at Taipei’s SOGO. Produced by Mata Taiwan, it presents six traditional bamboo techniques through brand stories and artisan practices. Japanese illustrator Haruka Yamada designed emblematic “Bamboo Crests” to define each chapter, blending craft with visual identity.
With contributions from Nitori and the Forestry Bureau on eco-materials and sustainable forestry, the handbook looks beyond the exhibition—proposing bamboo as both cultural heritage and a material for future living.
