Damon says they met a man they started to call "the bamboo professor". "He literally knew everything about bamboo, and he could make mathematical equations on how to utilize the material, as well as maximize use and minimize waste from the top of his head." "It was really incredible," he adds. "It gave us so many ideas on how to best use the material and insights into what was possible and what wasn’t.”

very handyAlanaeasy to put together and great for small spot in my broom cupboard.
stylish practical shelvingHelenI have bought three of these . One for the toilet room to hold cleaning products and display a plant. The other two are used in my bedroom at each corner.. I sleep on the floor with a futon and the shelves are a great height to store my phone etc during the night . I did not use the middle shelf in any of the 3 purchased as the items are I am storing have a little bit of height. Stylish and practical they look wonderful in both settings.
I bought two to putRichardI bought two to put under my pedestal sink. I was quite disappointed though that once placed side by side, the measurements seemed to be off…they are not mirror image of each other.

Story
Lessons in bamboo with the professor
You know the feeling when you learn something new. The excitement, and the instant eagerness to learn even more. That’s how we felt when we were fortunate enough to cross paths with the “bamboo professor”. We didn’t even plan to use bamboo for RÅGRUND bathroom furniture, our original idea was a bed. But things changed. And now we know a lot more than we did before.
After some thinking and testing, we realized bamboo is more suitable for a bathroom than a bedroom. Why? It’s a grass that mostly grows in the tropics—a climate similar to a steamy, hot bathroom. To carry out their new plan, product developer Damon Hird and his team left the forests of Sweden and headed to a factory in China. Visiting factories to collaborate and design directly on the factory floor helps us maximize material use and save resources.
Meeting "the professor"
Designing for life at home
The team focused on combining the need of more spots for storage, maximizing small spaces and wanting to sit comfortably with the lessons from the “bamboo professor.” After 5 days, they headed back to Sweden with a design that was finalized into RÅGRUND towel rack chair. Not only being a chair, it also has a shelf underneath and a high back where you can hang towels or clothes. Naturally, it matches the RÅGRUND shelving units, mirror and toilet roll stand. The story of RÅGRUND proves you never know when and where you'll learn something new!
Material
What is bamboo?
Strong, flexible and one of the world's fastest growing plants – bamboo has many uses that make it an excellent renewable material. It’s a type of grass and usually grows without the need for fertilizers or irrigation. After being harvested, it grows new shoots that are ready for harvesting after 4-6 years. At IKEA we use bamboo for items like furniture, bathroom decor, baskets and lamps – and we are constantly exploring more areas of use for this versatile material.
Function solution
It’s okay to splash!
We know how important it is to design the right furniture for different types of bathrooms. That’s why all our wash-stands and wash-basin cabinets are perfectly suited for spaces exposed to light water splashes. Choose from GODMORGON, LILLÅNGEN or HEMNES series with drawers and shelves to hide the clutter of shampoos and deodorants. Psst! Don’t forget to wipe off small splashes and spills with a towel so your furniture stays beautiful and serves you longer.
