Taiwan News mentions the materials they selected to decorate Driftwood in 2017 were mainly driftwood, thatch, and bamboo baskets. Therefore, compared to the other Taihu branches, the bar Driftwood Ximending provides a more relaxing atmosphere.
More recently, more than a dozen items, including the Taihu Brewing logo and surfboards, were crafted by Taiwanderful from recycled fish nets, plastic, and nylon bags. Campbell expressed that while art cannot solve the problem, it can raise public awareness about marine pollution, Taiwan News reported.
