In a world that is increasingly conscious of sustainability, bamboo has become one of the most valued materials by architects, designers and interior designers. Its durability, natural beauty, and low environmental impact make it ideal for multiple applications, and the bathroom is no exception.
Why bamboo?
Bamboo is an extremely fast-growing plant: some species can grow up to one meter per day. This allows it to be harvested without causing deforestation or depleting natural resources. Furthermore, bamboo absorbs more CO₂ and releases more oxygen than many tree species, making it a true ally against climate change.
On a technical level, treated bamboo offers a hardness comparable to—and even superior to—that of many hardwoods. It is moisture-resistant, stable, and has a warm aesthetic that fits perfectly in wellness spaces like the bathroom.
Bamboo in our washbasins
At Bathco, we always look for materials that reflect our philosophy: respect for the environment, functionality, and design. That’s why we’ve incorporated bamboo into some of our washbasins, using high-quality boards with pressed fibers that guarantee structural strength and durability in humid environments.
The most notable piece of this new sustainable offering is the Kalasin pedestal washbasin, a minimalist design inspired by nature.
In addition to this spectacular piece, bamboo appears integrated into other collections that combine this material with metal, Solid Surface, or stone, adding a touch of sophistication to the products. One example is the Treviso collection, which combines the warmth of bamboo with the sophistication of a metallic coating, offering countertop and pedestal washbasin that add character to any bathroom space.
A responsible and aesthetic choice
Incorporating bamboo into the bathroom isn’t just a trend: it’s a responsible choice that contributes to a more sustainable future. Whether in the form of sinks, countertops, furniture, or accessories, bamboo provides a sense of connection with nature, as well as a unique style that blends the organic with the contemporary.
