bambu^® Introduces the First Patented Bamboo Utensil Collection

March, 2006 - Lawrence, NEW YORK– bambu® the renewable ideas company, introduces the first line of patented design kitchen utensils made from bamboo, nature’s remarkably renewable material.

The new series of kitchen utensils consists of six styles each created with an integrated spoon rest cleverly designed into the shape of the spoon. The integrated spoon rest suspends the spoon head off the countertop to eliminate spills and the need for a separate spoon rest. The new line of utensils from bambu is aptly called the ‘Give It A Rest’ series.

The globally patented design was inspired by the unique characteristics of the wall of the bamboo culm. The integrated rest is included on a six products; Spoon, Spatula, Rounded Spoon, Slotted Spoon, Risotto Spoon, and a Rounded Spatula. bambu will be showcasing the ‘Give It A Rest’ kitchen utensils along with over 30 new products for 2006 at the Gourmet Products Show, May 9-11, 2006 in Las Vegas at booth #2422.

We are building a community of designers and product developers from around the world to bring fresh and innovative design ideas to renewable materials,’ states Rachel Speth, co-founder and Managing Director.

The designer of the ‘Give It A Rest’ utensil project is Godefroy de Vivre, a Paris based designer internationally recognized for his work on several French and international brands.
