Bambienti Unveil New Range Of Bamboo Towel And Garment Rails

June 1st, 2009

The Bambienti towel storage ladder is an alternative and decorative way to store towels. Ideal for usage within the bedroom or bathroom or alternatively it will be perfect for use around the swimming pool, gymnasium, sauna and spa.

The ladders are available in 3 heights Small (120cm), Medium (150cm) and Large (180cm) and now come in 3 different colours. Dark Teak, Oak and Shabby Chic White.Bamboo has previously and wrongly been perceived as being too weak for serious interiors projects, however with a high bearing capacity and tensile strength comparable to steel this ancient material has impressive credentials as a viable and long term alternative to diminishing sustainable hardwoods.

Natural sustainability is one of the most significant advantages Bamboo offers over conventional timber. When a conventional tree is cut down it is gone forever, in contrast Bamboo requires no replanting after harvesting. This is because it has an extensive net like root system that keeps sending up new shoots.

The underlying principle behind the Bambienti brand is that their efforts should not simply stop at the point of sourcing a green material. Rather that any effort to improve long term sustainability for the planet is dependent upon the success brands have in enabling communities who continue to live off of their land access to sustainable materials and methods.
Those communities who have suffered land degradation due to uncontrolled or illegal timber logging have in bamboo a material that can offer some much needed respite for two reasons.

Firstly bamboo is a viable alternate that can limit our dependence upon already limited conventional timber resources. Secondly, unlike conventional trees the root structure of Bamboo can develop within the top soil of degraded land, the culms (Bamboo poles) tend to grow rapidly, cover land very quickly and prevent soil run-off and produce considerable biomass.
