A Bay Area company; Modern Bamboo produces high quality 100% bamboo laminated furniture.
http://www.modernbamboo.com
In fact, they are the only company who produces a molded 100% bamboo chair.

You know, you folks could settle this by visiting the factory. Or, by emailing them.

I think we’d all agree that, however it’s made, it’s really innovative and beautiful.

in response to the first comment. something can’t be one solid piece if it is made of plywood. you don’t steam bend plywood, you steam bend solid, you laminate plywood. also, in response to the last comment, you can achieve that table with multiple layers of bamboo veneer, which is renewable. plywood means only that it is layered. to create that table you could just as easily use ONLY bamboo veneers, which you can purchase in varying thicknesses, to layer, creating a bamboo plywood. and at the same time you bend it to its current shape with forms and rely on a rigid adhesive to allow the veneers to keep that shape. so, it is both completely bamboo, and plywood – bamboo plywood. simple.

The Bambu name is slightly misleading, as it’s only the surface veneer that is made from bamboo. The rest of the furniture is made from plywood.

I have made furniture from 100% bamboo before, and it is too difficult to mould them into such wonderful shapes. Bamboo veneer over plywood is a good solution.

Nice design. Reportedly, Charles and Ray Eames were always trying to find a way to design and manufacture a one piece steam bent plywood chair. Along the way they cam up with their amazing offerings. It’s really a special treat to see a designer complete their mission with great style, sustainability and beautiful design aesthetics.

P.S. The 3rd photo shows a chair and table that’s different from the other photos. Are there more than one table and chair design grouping ?
