Ocean was born from a single question: “What product could improve the lives of 1.6 billion people and restore the health of our planet?” Our answer—patent-pending bamboo panels—combines sustainability, beauty, and performance. Made from one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth, our panels are redefining what’s possible in design and construction.
From lifesaving roofs in low-income communities to stunning interiors in restaurants, hotels, and commercial spaces, Ocean connects the built world with smarter, more responsible materials. Our global team spans material science, engineering, and manufacturing. Designed and developed in the U.S., panels are manufactured ethically in India, supporting bamboo famers and women workers.
Founder Alexa Bednarz first saw the need while working at the Gates Foundation: toxic, high-carbon roofing materials were harming families in extreme heat. Today, Ocean is transforming that reality—bringing elegant design and environmental impact into every wall, ceiling, and space we touch.
