Bamboo is not a tree—it’s a grass, and it grows like one. Many species of bamboo can grow two feet or more a day. When it’s harvested, it need not be replanted, because it will grow a new shoot from its extensive root system. So bamboo renews itself readily, unlike hardwood trees, which, once cut, are gone forever. Bamboo is an endlessly renewable resource.

It’s beautiful.

The delicate grain of bamboo, whether natural or amber-toned, make it a distinctive, elegant, and subtle material for fine furniture and flooring.
