Wicker furniture was also the weight saving solution used on the 1920s/30s British airship R101: https://www.airshipsonline.com/airships/interior/R101Interio...

Of course that was before aluminium was cheap and widely available. I'm going to say that aluminium or plastic seems like a more likely choice for future Mars missions, at least until they work out how to grow bamboo locally.
