Natural Bamboo Dragonflies — Set of 3 with Triple Stand

This natural bamboo dragonfly set of three sits on a triple-rod wooden stand — a small, quiet installation for a desk, shelf, or table centrepiece. Hand-shaped and tuned at the Liên Xoan workshop in Thạch Xá. No paint, no varnish — just bamboo in its own colour, left to age softly in the light.

Three rods hold three dragonflies at staggered heights. Each one rests on the tip of its rod by balance alone, catching draughts and the movement of a room.

What you get

• Three (3) unpainted bamboo dragonflies
• One wooden stand with three rods
• Choose the size at checkout: 7 cm, 12 cm, 15 cm, or a graduated 7–12–15 cm set (one of each size — our favourite for a layered display)

How the natural bamboo dragonfly set is made

Mature northern Vietnamese bamboo is cured, split by hand, shaped and sanded. The dragonflies are tuned on the artisan’s fingertip until they rest on the beak without glue or weight. The wooden stand is turned and sanded to a clean finish. The whole set is natural — nothing dyed, nothing varnished.

• Care: Dust with a soft brush. Keep in a dry room; the bamboo will deepen in tone with age.

Minimalist home décor, writing desks, tea tables, reading rooms, small gifts for natural-material lovers, and wedding or event table settings that want something understated rather than painted.

Quiet decor that moves

Three dragonflies at staggered heights, swaying with the draughts of a room — closer to a small kinetic sculpture than a toy. In natural bamboo it sits easily in minimalist, Japandi, and mid-century rooms, and makes an unusual sustainable housewarming or desk gift.

Frequently asked questions

Is the stand included?

Yes — the set ships with the wooden triple-rod stand plus three unpainted dragonflies, ready to arrange out of the box.

Which size should I choose?

Same-size sets (7, 12, or 15 cm) read as a neat trio; the graduated 7–12–15 cm set is our favourite for a layered, staggered display.

How do they stay on the rods?

Balance alone. The weight sits in the forewings, so the centre of gravity falls directly beneath the beak resting on each rod tip — the physics explained.

Will the bamboo change colour over time?

Unfinished bamboo ages gently — the pale straw tone deepens slightly with light and handling. Most people like it more at year two than day one.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, worldwide from Hanoi — see how we pack and ship overseas.

Why buy from our shop instead of a marketplace?

You pay less here — marketplaces add their fees on top of our workshop price — and direct orders often include a small bonus from the bench. Personalised engraving and several sets are only sold on this site, and every direct order supports the Liên Xoan family atelier in full.
