Bamboo for the bath

Bamboo has proved its value as a versatile and sustainable material in flooring, kitchen countertops and even towels. Now comes the Moso bamboo sink ($700) from Stone Forest, the Santa Fe, N.M., company best known for hand-chiseled granite vessels for bathrooms and gardens. The new sink comes sealed and waxed, but the bamboo does require regular maintenance to remain watertight and to keep its luster. Dealers include Westside Bath in Los Angeles and Euroconcepts and Design Bath & Hardware in West Hollywood. Stone Forest, (888) 682-2987, www.stoneforest.com (type “Moso” in the search field).
