Fractal Collection
Geometric and patterned bamboo wall panels
Fractal™ by Smith&Fong applies the use of compositional geometric figures, each part of which has the same proportional character as the whole. Exciting and interpretive this expressive panel series uses the discipline of isosceles triangles to create squares and nested geometric shapes that express infinite space by emphasizing line, color and light. The visual complexity of the Fractal™ compositions causes the eye to find forms beyond the geometry evoking ideas, events and emotions.
Available in natural colors as well as oiled Greige, Fog and Noir finishes to name a few, the Fractal™ line has a pallet to enhance any project.
Reveal Collection
Carved and textured bamboo wall panels
Plyboo’s Reveal Collection is a series of carved and textured bamboo panels. When carved, an interplay between the face layer and revealed inner core creates a stunning visual effect. Plyboo’s proprietary RealCore technology insures the revealed cores are consistent and that layers of bamboo material in bi-directional construction allow for stability. This artistic collection is available in eight patterns and color options.
PlybooSound Collection
Acoustical bamboo wall panels
The PlybooSound panel brings together the elegance of bamboo architectural designs with proprietary sound-dampening technology to help reduce ambient noise. Great for hospitality, public venues and large open work spaces. PlybooSound insures that exposed cores are consistent, and bidirectional construction allows for maximum stability. Available in eight patterns and colors.
Linear Line Collection
Inspired by the depth and movement of hand loomed fabric
The Linear Line Collection is made entirely of carved Plyboo bamboo panels, with a vertically fluted face layer revealing a uniquely graphic inner core. These intersecting surfaces harmoniously suggest the natural, tactile quality of a woven textile that is both curious and compelling. The Linear Line collection is suitable for any interior feature and is available in six architecturally inspired styles.
Plywood
Plyboo’s flat-grain and edge-grain style of bamboo plywood captures the natural aesthetic of bamboo, with the bamboo node highly visible in its horizontal orientation. Ideal for both commercial and residential environments, Plyboo’s architectural-grade bamboo plywood offers excellent dimensional stability and can be glued or mechanically fastened using the same methods used on wood.

PlybooStrand
PlybooStrand uses strand technology to turn 100% rapidly renewable bamboo into a beautiful yet exceptionally durable green building material for both commercial and residential use. Strand differs from typical bamboo material in that the bamboo is not cut into strips and laminated, but instead thrashed and pressed into dense logs. The logs are sliced and fabricated into plywood, creating a harder, denser material with an entirely new bamboo aesthetic.
