Wood & Bamboo

Wood and Bamboo are organic materials that bring natural warmth, unique textures, and eco-friendliness to the dining experience. While wood offers diverse grain patterns and timeless durability, bamboo is celebrated as a highly sustainable, rapidly renewable alternative.

In modern tableware, these materials are widely used for salad bowls, serving boards (charcuterie), utensils, and decorative trays.

• Natural Insulation: Wood and bamboo are poor conductors of heat, meaning they keep food warm longer and stay cool to the touch.
• Aesthetic Warmth: Each piece features a unique grain or fiber pattern, adding a “rustic” or “zen” feel to the table.
• Sustainability: Bamboo grows significantly faster than hardwoods, making it a top choice for eco-conscious consumers.
• Anti-Microbial Properties: Certain woods (like Maple) and bamboo have natural tannins that inhibit bacterial growth.

• Acacia: Durable, water-resistant, and features a rich, dark grain. Ideal for salad bowls.
• Olive Wood: Known for its dramatic, swirling grain patterns and high oil content.
• Teak: Exceptionally hardy and moisture-resistant due to natural oils.
• Bamboo: Technically a grass; lightweight, strong, and highly resistant to warping.

• Hand Wash Only: Never submerge in water for long periods or put in the dishwasher. Heat and moisture will cause warping and cracking.
• Seasoning: Regularly apply “Food-grade Mineral Oil” or beeswax to prevent the material from drying out.
• Odor Removal: Use a lemon wedge and coarse salt to scrub away food odors and stains.
• Avoid Heat: Do not use in the microwave or oven, as this can cause the wood to ignite or split.
