Bamboo is not only the fastest growing plant on the planet, one of the stongest building materials and a highly renewable resource, it is also becoming quite trendy. Check out this cool new Bamboo Raffia Ball Table Lamp ($50) that combines the natural materials of bamboo, cotton thread and raffia fibers into a soft glowing globe of light. When the light is shining through the off-white earthy shade, it displays subtle silhouettes of the embedded green leaves. Very peaceful table lamp and great for bedrooms too.
