Material Driven Design – Vita Onesta blends style and function with raw bamboo poles and natural elements, adapting to any space, from home offices to boutique hotels, adding warmth and character throughout.

Material Exploration, Coffee Granules into Shelves – By studying materials and their reactions, Eerdmans built a shelf using only natural binders like casein and sugar, pressed and baked for 7+ hours, proving nature can yield stunning results.

The Best of Nature and Man Combined... – The metal shelf bracket provides critical support where bamboo may split or shear under pressure. By re-distributing weight, it reduces stress on the bamboo cavity, preventing structural failure or damage.

User Defined – Socially responsible design

Vita Onesta’s smart design allows it to stand alone, mount on walls, or suspend between floor and ceiling, easily transforming into shelves, desks, tables, wardrobes, or room dividers.
