Bamboo is now used to make tableware, wallpaper, flooring and lacquer-ware.
A company in the UK has just begun importing the lacquer-ware, The dishes are coiled by hand and impregnated with 18 layers of natural, food-safe lacquer. They retail for £12.50 and up each. Vibrantly coloured and waterproof. They join Zak-Designs Bambu trays, chopping boards - which look particularily good - and kitchen utensils in one impressive and design-conscious range. Even the bamboo is organically grown.
The manufactuer has its own website.

I like them a lot! They can even be used in food-styling pics!

I love my Bamboo cutting board and highly recommend them. They're enviromentally friendly (i.e. not cutting down trees) and just a great product.
For those who aren't familiar though, bamboo boards are typically much smaller then the wood ones you can get. Apparently, bamboo boards bigger then roughly 12"x24" have issues with warping. That's a problem if you're doing a lot of choping and/or have a large (9.5"+) Chef's Knife.
