It is always a pleasure to rediscover our iconic plant in a new article. Readers of our blog, "L'éco Mag", are sure to know the benefits and advantages of bamboo that we cover throughout our articles.
Indeed, bamboo is found in many very different fields: cooking, medicine, cosmetics and in the making of utensils, objects, and accessories like those available in our shop.
The weak point of bamboo, is that unlike in Asia and Africa, it does not grow naturally in Europe. It is therefore imported before reaching our homes, which tarnishes its green credentials. However, it has the advantage of growing without fertilizers or pesticides, which is rare enough to be worth mentioning.
When we think of bamboo, several adjectives come to mind for us Westerners, such as: zen attitude, exoticism, and Feng Shui to name just a few. Having bamboo items at home automatically brings a bohemian, rustic, and authentic feel to the interiors and exteriors of our homes. Let's take a look together at designer bamboo items to absolutely have at home.
Bamboo kitchen utensils and items
Starting by getting bamboo accessories and kitchen utensils is a good way to begin your journey toward a zero-waste lifestyle. In fact, bamboo is often targeted in this area because this material has natural properties well suited to use in our kitchens: it is rot-resistant and relatively durable.
Bamboo straws are a huge success in the bar and restaurant world. Indeed, seeing a bamboo straw topping off your mojito always adds an exotic touch. However, the bamboo straw is not the only eco-friendly bamboo item to be on the rise in our kitchens. Food storage boxes, kitchen scales, and dish brushes are highly ordered utensils in our shop. It has to be said that their plastic counterparts are no cheaper and much more polluting, so you might as well treat yourself while doing something for the planet.
Discover in our collection of bamboo kitchen utensils, a wide selection of bamboo items to bring an exotic touch to your kitchen.
Bamboo bathroom accessories and items
Exoticism in its purest form! The style of Balinese bathrooms has influenced my words, because bamboo is showcased in this type of wet room. For those who have had the chance to travel to East Asia, and more specifically to Bali, they will certainly have noticed how bamboo is showcased in bathrooms.
A central island with teak slats, a mirror framed with natural bamboo stalks—bamboo fits perfectly in damp spaces. Bathroom accessories such as cotton swabs, soap dishes, and bamboo toothbrushes to name just a few, are among the must-have items for a zero-waste bathroom. Discover our selection of bamboo accessories for your bathroom in our shop.
Bamboo office items and accessories

Combining wood and technology is a challenge that our star plant meets with flying colours. Bamboo wood makes it possible to reinvent all office items, utensils, and accessories in an eco-responsible version. Nothing is more pleasant than a woody touch on a functional desk. Discover in our shop: pens, pencils, USB drives, laptop stands, and even bamboo keyboards.
The properties of bamboo make it possible to produce a huge amount of office supplies while respecting the planet.
Bamboo fashion accessories
Here again, our miracle plant brings its little extra touch. Fashion designers and top couturiers agree: having a wood look is a trendy phenomenon. Wooden sunglasses, bamboo watches, and bow ties are increasingly in demand for two reasons:
- Having a distinctive style automatically means choosing original fashion accessories.
- Growing environmental awareness is forcing us to rethink our consumption habits across all areas, and textiles and fashion are no exception.
For these reasons, the nobility of wood and the green credentials of bamboo go hand in hand, and jewelry and fashion accessory designers have understood that well. Discover within our collection of bamboo fashion accessories a wide range of fashion products such as our women's handbags, earrings, and watches for men and women made from bamboo, of course.
Eco-friendly bamboo lighting
Let's let in the light and the exotic feel with bamboo wood lighting. Deeply rooted in the home design of Asian regions, bamboo wood lighting is very popular in our Western homes.
It is true that the rustic, bohemian feel of this type of lighting gives us a zen and welcoming atmosphere that we particularly love in France.
Bamboo lighting items blend perfectly into Scandinavian furniture design, with its woody, authentic feel.
Far from Asian style, Scandinavian furniture comes, as its name suggests, from the Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway, and Finland), which are exemplary when it comes to renewable energy production and respect for the environment.
