How Much is a Chairs In Bamboo?
A piece of chairs in bamboo can differ in price owing to various characteristics — the average selling price 1stDibs is $2,420, while the lowest priced sells for $117 and the highest can go for as much as $29,500.
Finding the Right seating for You
With entire areas of our homes reserved for “sitting rooms,” the value of quality antique and vintage seating cannot be overstated.
Fortunately, the design of side chairs, armchairs and other lounge furniture — since what were, quite literally, the early perches of our ancestors — has evolved considerably.
Among the earliest standard seating furniture were stools. Egyptian stools, for example, designed for one person with no seat back, were x-shaped and typically folded to be tucked away. These rudimentary chairs informed the design of Greek and Roman stools, all of which were a long way from Sori Yanagi's Butterfly stool or Alvar Aalto's Stool 60. In the 18th century and earlier, seats with backs and armrests were largely reserved for high nobility.
The seating of today is more inclusive but the style and placement of chairs can still make a statement. Antique desk chairs and armchairs designed in the style of Louis XV, which eventually included painted furniture and were often made of rare woods, feature prominently curved legs as well as Chinese themes and varied ornaments. Much like the thrones of fairy tales and the regency, elegant lounges crafted in the Louis XV style convey wealth and prestige. In the kitchen, the dining chair placed at the head of the table is typically reserved for the head of the household or a revered guest.
Of course, with luxurious vintage or antique furnishings, every chair can seem like the best seat in the house. Whether your preference is stretching out on a plush sofa, such as the Serpentine, designed by Vladimir Kagan, or cozying up in a vintage wingback chair, there is likely to be a comfy classic or contemporary gem for you on 1stDibs.
With respect to the latest obsessions in design, cane seating has been cropping up everywhere, from sleek armchairs to lounge chairs, while bouclé fabric, a staple of modern furniture design, can be seen in mid-century modern, Scandinavian modern and Hollywood Regency furniture styles.
Admirers of the sophisticated craftsmanship and dark woods frequently associated with mid-century modern seating can find timeless furnishings in our expansive collection of lounge chairs, dining chairs and other items — whether they’re vintage editions or alluring official reproductions of iconic designs from the likes of Hans Wegner or from Charles and Ray Eames. Shop our inventory of Egg chairs, designed in 1958 by Arne Jacobsen, the Florence Knoll lounge chair and more.
No matter your style, the collection of unique chairs, sofas and other seating on 1stDibs is surely worthy of a standing ovation.
Questions About Chairs In Bamboo
- Are bamboo chairs strong?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Although construction methods also affect durability, bamboo chairs are generally strong due to the properties of bamboo. The tensile strength of bamboo per square inch is greater than that of many other materials, including steel. Shop a variety of bamboo chairs on 1stDibs.
- Are rattan and bamboo the same?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022No, bamboo and rattan are not the same. Bamboo is inflexible so it cannot be curved to make different shapes. Alternatively, rattan is flexible and a type of climbing palm. It looks similar to bamboo but it’s more versatile and not as durable. Shop a collection of bamboo furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, bamboo furniture can indeed be restored. Repair any mildly broken pieces with some heavy duty wood glue. The exterior can also be refinished by sanding off dirt and grime and repainting the piece. You’ll find a large collection of bamboo items from many of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Does bamboo furniture last?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, bamboo furniture is incredibly durable and as long as it’s cared for properly, it can last a long time. In fact, bamboo can be more resistant to damage than hardwoods, making it a popular choice for new or vintage furniture purchases. Shop a collection of Bamboo furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- Can I grow bamboo in planters?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, you can grow bamboo in planters. However, there are specific qualifications that make some planters better than others for growing bamboo. Ideally a wooden planter that provides added insulation and drainage is used for optimal bamboo growth. Browse a range of planters on 1stDibs.
- Is rattan a wicker or bamboo?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Wicker is the finished woven product that can be made of either rattan or bamboo. Bamboo is an incredibly solid grass that is difficult to bend while rattan is a vine that’s much easier to manipulate. Shop a collection of wicker furniture from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023The mid- to late 1980s and early 1990s were a particularly strong era for bamboo earrings, which is a name frequently given to big, bold hoop earrings (they're also called "door knockers"). While Black female recording artists such as Salt-N-Pepa, MC Lyte and Roxanne Shante popularized the trend during those years by donning hoops in music videos and on the red carpet, artist-activists Nina Simone and Angela Davis wore hoops decades earlier. In the Black and Latino communities, hoop earrings have long been associated with strength. Their symbolism as indicators of identity stretches back thousands of years, including to ancient Nubia. On view in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Ancient Near Eastern Art gallery is a pair of simple gold hoops from Mesopotamia dating to 2,600-2,500 B.C. that experts agree is among the oldest known examples. Shop a range of hoop earrings from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023Yes, bamboo is suitable for some outdoor furniture. However, you should only place bamboo pieces designed for outdoor use outside. Caring for and maintaining bamboo outdoor furniture is important for helping it stand the test of time. Shop a range of antique, new and vintage bamboo furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022The first step in determining if an item is vintage bamboo is to first make sure it’s bamboo. Bamboo is inflexible, so if there are curved shapes in the design it is actually rattan, not bamboo. Your next step is to understand the style of the piece of furniture, the brand, and look for telltale signs that it is an authentic piece from that brand. Shop a range of antique and modern bamboo furniture on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023Yes, many people consider bamboo to be a good outdoor material because it can typically hold up to the effects of inclement weather. However, bamboo furniture needs proper care to stand the test of time and should usually be stored indoors during cold winter weather. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of bamboo furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023It varies how long outdoor bamboo furniture lasts. The quality of the craftsmanship, how much weather exposure pieces receive and how well you care for it will all impact the lifespan of furniture made of bamboo. Antique and vintage bamboo furniture can help introduce an air of relaxation in any space, and pairs well with chinoiserie decor and a range of porcelain decorative objects. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of bamboo furniture.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023The difference between a lounge chair and a chair is specificity. A chair is the general term for furniture typically designed to seat one person at a time, and there are many different kinds of chairs, including dining, accent and office chairs. Lounge chairs are another example of a specific type of chair. They are chairs with a footrest that allows you to elevate your feet while sitting. On 1stDibs, explore a large collection of chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023To tell if a chair is an Eames chair, take a look under the seat or cushion. Authentic Eames lounge chairs are manufactured by Herman Miller and Vitra. If your Eames chair is a Herman Miller original, look for the legendary manufacturer’s specific logomarks on the product (these logomarks can be found on the company’s official website). There is also the manufacturing label, which is usually found under the seat or cushion (unless a former owner removed it). All of the classic Herman Miller designs are paired with a certificate of authenticity. Some designs may also have a medallion attached to certify their authenticity. You can then check trusted online resources to determine if the information on the label is correct for the style of chair (and more info on its construction is available on the official Eames website). You won’t see screws outside of the wood shells on an authentic Eames lounge chair, and prior to the 1970s, original vintage Eames lounge chairs were made with no more than five layers of plywood (during the 1970s, the chairs were made with seven layers). Find a variety of authentic Eames chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023The difference between an accent chair and a dining chair comes down to function and design. An accent chair usually goes in a seating area, and makers craft them with comfort in mind. As a result, most accent chairs feature cushioning and upholstery and are characterized by generous proportions. The purpose of a dining chair is to provide a place to sit while enjoying a meal. Usually, dining chairs are lighter and smaller than accent chairs for easy maneuvering. While they may have padded seats and backrests, dining chairs generally aren't as abundantly cushioned as accent chairs. Explore a large selection of chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022A club chair is called a club chair because the accent chairs became popular in the interior décor of gentleman's clubs in France. The original name for the club chair is “fauteuil confortable," which translates to "comfortable chair." You'll find a collection of club chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021The difference between an Adirondack chair and a Muskoka chair can be easily explained in that garden armchairs are called Adirondack in the USA and Muskoka in Canada. While they both have short legs, bent reclining seats, wide armrests and high backs, the Adirondack chair is 2 inches higher from the floor and 2 inches wider. The Adirondack chair uses a flat yoke at the back while Muskoka might use curved yokes. Shop for an Adirondack chair or Muskoka chair on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023The difference between a side chair and a Parsons chair is style. A side chair is a very commonly used dining chair. The form of a side chair may vary, but the constant is the lack of armrests to keep hands free for eating and to save space at the table. A Parsons chair is a type of side chair that features upholstery on the seat and back. Shop a selection of dining chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 31, 2023There is no difference between a club chair and an armchair; a club chair is a type of armchair. An armchair is any chair with arms, while a club chair is a wide, comfortable type of armchair that is typically clad in leather and features thick upholstery. All club chairs are armchairs, but not all armchairs are club chairs. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of club chairs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021The difference between a task chair and an executive chair is that most task chairs will have adjustable seat height as well as swivel and tilt functions. Task chairs are lightweight and mobile but are not intended for long periods of continuous use. Executive chairs are meant to be more comfortable and are usually designed with high backrests.
