One of the main reasons the vessel sink has gained so much popularity over the past few years is because it was able to draw inspiration from modern decorative art and combine it with function. The same can be said for vessel faucets which draw their unique designs from architecture, antiquity, and a bevy of other sources. One of the most creative inspirations for a vessel faucet, however, is Mother Nature herself or, more specifically, the beauty of bamboo in nature. A bamboo vessel faucet is one of the most creative and unique bathroom accessories on the market.
The Relevance of Bamboo
Bamboo is heavily relied upon throughout Asia for its range of uses. It can not only serve as a source of food, it can also be broken down to make cloth and paper goods, and serves as a commonly used construction material. Throughout the rest of the world, bamboo is most well known for the fact that it is the fastest growing wood based plant in the world, said t be able to grow up to two feet a day in the right soil and climate conditions. Because of this ability, bamboo is an ideal material to be harvested when natural sustainability is needed. Throughout history, bamboo has also been seen as a sign of longevity, due to its natural sustainability and rapid growth rate, as well as friendship, due to its variety of uses and diversity of products that can be made from or with it.
Bamboo In Visual Design
The bamboo vessel faucet, although somewhat geared towards some specific décor themes, can become a focal point in a variety of settings. The most obvious theme suited for a bamboo vessel faucet is, of course, any Asian inspired bathroom design. With the increased importance of Zen design gaining in popularity over time, the bamboo design is a perfect accessory for your bathroom retreat. Even without an Asian influence, a bamboo vessel faucet can be ideal for any bathroom design focused on nature as a whole. Because of its very warm and lifelike appearance, even when cast in metal, the visual impact that bamboo can convey can be very inviting.
Like other vessel faucets, bamboo vessel faucets are available in a variety of colors and finishes, however, the more popular designs tend to take their inspiration from the appearance of live bamboo in nature itself, relying heavily on brown, green, and yellow undertones. Bamboo vessel faucets can be found in high gloss finishes as well, but the matte or satin finishes are the most prevalent as they are closer to its true appearance.
