Asli Arts' Bamboo Door Curtains fuse beauty, function and sound.
Handcrafted from hundreds of pieces of bamboo, our door curtains let in the breeze and provide shade while screening out unwanted critters. Each curtain is an original piece of art, handpainted on both sides. They are perfect for patio doors, interior doors, wall hangings, or as unique window treatments.
Amazing Bamboo ... A thousand and one uses, and then some ...
The universal attraction of bamboo is its beauty - a simple and elegant combination of form and function envisioned by Mother Nature herself.
While beautiful, bamboo is also an amazingly versatile product. For centuries, indigenous people have harvested groves of bamboo for more than 1000 recorded uses. Bamboo has been used to make homes, fences, carts, windmills, kites, bikes, toys, and baskets. It can be split, woven, carved, bent, stained, lacquered, and painted.
Growing at a remarkable rate (the record variety was clocked at nearly three feet a day), bamboo also is an unparalleled renewable resource.
At Asli Arts, we take pride in creating with bamboo and are constantly inspired by its universal beauty and endless possibilities.
How Do They Do That? ... Creating Asli Arts Bamboo Door Curtains and Bamboo Banners ...
Our Vietnamese artisans start by harvesting thin pieces of bamboo, which are cut to proportion, boiled, and slowly dried. Nimble fingers then carefully thread each narrow piece of bamboo with wire and create a single, tapering strand of bamboo that is attached to a wooden frame.
With the initial work complete, skilled Vietnamese artists take over. Each curtain is hung in front of a full-sized drawing and a talented artist hand-applies the design, deftly rolling tiny sponge paintbrushes back and forth to cover the bamboo strands completely - all 360 degrees.
