Handicrafts and furniture of bamboo once flourished in Taiwan during the 1970s and 80s but have since gradually declined after that period of time. The viability of the handicrafts industry was greatly threatened along with there being a real possibility of losing this traditional heritage. Nowadays, green products are a growing trend in the fashion industry, and thus some Asian countries have realized the importance of using green products and its development of cultural creative assets. The literature/study of the styles of traditional Taiwan bamboo arts are rare but they are worth exploring. Therefore, the purposes of this study are as follows: (1) to explore the category of traditional Taiwanese bamboo column furniture; and (2) to explore the backgrounds, forms, and contents of traditional Taiwanese bamboo column furniture. The results show that: (1) traditional Taiwanese bamboo chairs can be divided into eight categories: stool, side chair, slant-back reclining chair, tai-shi armchair, pair of gong-po chairs, two-seat chairs, “mother & child” chairs, and other styles of chairs; and (2) traditional Taiwanese bamboo column chairs styles originate from early Chinese Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and these bamboo chairs’ forms have imitated the wood furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasty furniture. However, the technology of the enclosed-pipe structure is a special handicraft skill that reflects the early Taiwanese’ resourcefulness in farming and fishing. We hope this paper can promote relevant and practical foundation research and studies.
