Bambu’s Renewable Ideas Fuse Design and Social Responsibility

This August's edition of the <a href="http://nyigf.com">2012 New York International Gift Fair</a> (NYIGF) brought a plethora of designs to New York City. Hailing from all over the world, several international designers, such as <a href="http://bambuhome.com/">Bambu</a>, caught our attention for their use of sustainable, natural materials and inclusive business models. Bambu shared with Inhabitat its newest line of sustainably harvested cork products. See them ahead.
