Bambu have brought their clever design skills to another sustainable resource - cork - this time transforming what is often seen as a functional material to something beautiful and contemporary.
This large bowl is a real statement piece for any kitchen. The properties of cork mean it is much lighter and more durable than a similar size china bowl.

Low salad bowl also available.
Approved food safe by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration in the USA).
Naturally anti-microbial and anti-fungal.

NATURAL - all bambu cork products are made simply from compacted cork granules which are then baked, sanded and finished with a food safe oil.
FAIRTRADE – bambu is committed to the fair treatment of workers, promoting healthy communities and preserving the environment. The cork range is made in China by a co-operative where the craftspeople are involved in setting the pricing levels.
SUSTAINABLE - Cork is renewable and biodegradable, one of nature’s most remarkable resources. The bark of a cork tree is sustainably harvested every 10-12 years. It quickly regenerates and the tree continues to flourish, generally improving the tree’s health and vitality. The tree plays a vital role in balancing the ecosystem. Cork forests are essential to preventing soil erosion, maintaining water resources and storing CO2. Cork trees live an average of 150-200 years.
