Joanne and her husband, Tom Sullivan, are also the founders of Totally Bamboo. Before that chapter began, they owned Hollywood Chairs in North Hollywood, supplying director’s chairs to film and television productions. While looking to improve the design of their chairs, they explored new materials and were drawn to bamboo for its strength, light weight, and sustainability. What began as a practical solution grew into a new creative venture. Today, their work with bamboo is known for craftsmanship, quality, and care for the environment.
