IBUKU is an international team that designs spaces in which people can connect with nature in groundbreaking ways. We create fully functional structures, furniture, and gardens that are handcrafted by Balinese artisans and utilize local and natural materials.
Our story is a captivating one that began in a community of design innovators in Bali. In 2006, renowned jewelry designer John Hardy gathered a team to build the Green School from bamboo in order to inspire future green leaders worldwide. In 2010, John’s daughter Elora returned to Bali to continue the bamboo design revolution under the Ibuku brand. Today, our team of experts, led by Creative Director, Elora Hardy, has designed over forty structures.
