San Francisco–based Smith & Fong’s Plyboo<br />
Dimensional Lumber gives architectural-grade wood<br />
an aesthetic and eco-friendly punch. Neopolitan,<br />
one of five designs, comprises hand-sorted strips of<br />
FSC-certified bamboo coated in resin and pressed into<br />
dimensional forms to create an “artful mix” of hues,<br />
says company founder and president Dan Smith. The<br />
wood making up the darkest strands is heated at 284 F<br />
for up to six hours, cooled, then heated for two hours<br />
at the same temperature. It meets California’s Section<br />
01350 for limited off-gassing. plyboo.com Circle 100<br />
