From furniture to fabrics, bamboo is a front runner these days. Which is why we award bamboo the spotlight this week. This lightweight and flexible panda snack is a planet-positive material and an eco-friendly all-star.

Bamboo is balancing to environments. As a resource, it absorbs carbon dioxide and releases more oxygen back into the air than a comparable stand of trees. Plus, it’s wildly renewable. Did you know bamboo is the fastest growing plant on the planet? A time lapse video might catch certain species growing 35’’ in 24 hours alone.

Mountain Mindful makes use of bamboo in its sleek and easy-going Bamboo Wall Hanging Desk. This compact and wall-mounted workspace is made out of Appalachian-sourced White Oak and a sustainably harvested Bamboo veneer.

It opens to a fall-front writing surface. When in use, you’ll have nearly six square feet of workspace. A steel rod across the back acts like a “seat belt” for keeping everything stored securely inside.

Depending on the height you choose to install it, Bamboo Wall Hanging Desk could be a sit or stand desk. The product dimensions are 19.5” tall x 6” deep x 36” long. It is 23.5” deep when opened.

When work is done, tack the desk up by affixing the leather clasp to a chrome knob. Enjoy the visual reminder you’ve packed up for the day. If any tasks remain, you can pick back up where you left off tomorrow.

Add this bamboo workspace to the list of possibilities for earth-friendly homes, offices, and hospitality environments. You can add a Tablet Holder & Book Stand or Succulent Desktop Planter when your Wall Hanging Desk is open to help with organization and Feng Shui.
