Why Bamboo?

Because bamboo is helping save the world. The expansion of bamboo farms fueled by demand for new bamboo products is helping combat deforestation by acting as a renewable alternative energy source to traditional lumber. It reduces carbon emissions and helps third world countries diversify their local economies while promoting environmentally friendly practices. Bamboo can grow up to 1 meter a day, fully mature by 6 months, and can be re-harvested every 3 years without causing damage to the plant system.

At DARMATI, promoting conservation is important to us. That is why we source all of our bamboo and wood from sustainable sources and donate a portion of our proceeds to worldwide conservation efforts. But we can't do it without you. Join us on our journey. Help us build something great...

Veterans and Active Duty

The story of DARMATI begins when I was serving overseas in Afghanistan, living in some of the harshest conditions in the world. I was motivated daily by the Marines I served alongside. Their bravery, leadership in the face of adversity, and selfless determination to not only do good, but to exhaust themselves for the sake of others and the mission greatly inspired me. To our veterans and active duty military of all services: We support you because we are you! As a small token of our appreciation, we would like to offer you guys a discount off your purchases.
