Buku Working Collection

Buku Working Collection

Designed by IBUKU
Crafted by Bamboo Pure

Named after the Indonesian word for “book,” the Buku Collection is designed for spaces of learning, focus, and reflection. Its name also recalls the natural nodes of bamboo, each marking a stage of growth and continuity.

Natural laminated bamboo is paired with hand-burnt Renggang bamboo, creating a dialogue between light and dark, structure and texture. The collection brings the warmth and character of bamboo into contemporary workspaces through furniture designed for focus, comfort, and everyday use.

Inspired by a desk originally designed by Elora Hardy for her husband, it combines sweeping bamboo arches with Super Renggang panels featuring visible natural nodes. The result is a light, sculptural workspace for writing, study, and creative work.
