Bu

Highlight

This very first step is jointing and sawing in order to transform rough lumber into smooth board and cutting huge board into appropriate sizes. Then the wood master will start to drill and create holes in between the wood so as to install the light in it. Also, the dimmer will be installed at this stage. After that, it is the sanding, scraping, filing and finishing process. These processes are extremely important and require high level of experience and skills. These are very crucial steps as they directly impact the touch, the color and the quality of the final product.

Vintage Tungsten Lamp

In the modern world, tungsten lamps are gradually replaced by different types of new lighting sources. Now it is not easy for us to find tungsten lamp in the market. The tungsten lamp can be perceived to be the ancestor of the electric light bulb. Its principle is to utilize the heat generated from the current passing through the filament and then to surge the filament temperature, and eventually generating light.

Although the tungsten lamp is being replaced gradually by the society, we think that the vintage, the elegancy and the nobleness feeling cannot be easily replaced. These irreplaceable feeling completely align with our collections’ design concept, and that’s the reason why we insist to use the tungsten lamp in our product Bu.

The Dimmer

The dimmer in Bu does not only add practicability to the product, but also give a completely different and refreshing look to the product. The material chosen to make the dimmer was Balau wood with a heavier colour aiming to offer a feeling of contrast.

“Adding a dimmer in front of the light has aroused extra vintage feeling.” Said Mr Ho.

Bu is handcrafted by our Wood Master Mr Ho. He was born and raised in Hong Kong and has more than 20 years of experience in woodworking and product design. He takes full responsibility in different stages, ranging from product design, selecting material, routing, sanding, polishing to finishing. He dedicates 200% of his time and effort in every single piece of his products and ensure all of them reach the world-class standard. 

“The most difficult part of making Bu is to think how to install and hide all the wires without damaging the wood.” Wood Master Mr Ho said.

Although Bu was made of the shelf wood, instead of the deck wood of the junk rig, its key material is also Balau wood which is extremely durable and can endure all kind of extreme condition, such as heat, cold, sunlight and even water.
