Smith & Fong

Evoking the moody, yet restrained, effects created by louvers in large scale architecture and modern interiors, we have created a functional, timely and pleasing bamboo wall panel system. Modern and optically fascinating, the Linear Sound series of carved acoustical panels are Plyboo's most daring and innovative to date. As always, Smith&Fong starts by utilizing RealCore the inherent engineered characteristics of their signature multi-layered rapidly renewable bamboo panel. By carving deeply into and through the layers of material, a complex pattern of mingling planes evokes modernism and optical movement all at once.

Smith & Fong - makers of Plyboo and Durapalm - was founded in 1989 on the premise that bamboo offered unique opportunities and solutions to some of the world's social and environmental challenges. We began our exploration with bamboo boxes, integrating form and function, making a container that was aesthetically pleasing, but also quite useful. Within four years, we had begun manufacturing bamboo flooring and quickly exhausted our manufacturing capacity in Taiwan. Moving our operations to China, we converted a tea-processing plant into a factory that produced bamboo flooring.

Plyboo's innovative and award-winning wall systems add elegance and interest to residential and commercial interiors. From the geometric patterns of the Fractal line, to the refined and sophisticated Louver line, our wall panel systems are a favorite among top architects and interior designers around the world. Our Sound Collections take high-style to the next level, adding excellent sound dampening capabilities in addition to the stunning visual impact. These designer acoustical panels are an excellent solution for open work spaces, hospitality installations such as hotels and restaurants, and large public venues.

Plyboo bamboo flooring is durable, beautiful, and versatile. A sustainable alternative to hardwood flooring, bamboo comes in a variety of finishes and grain options to suit any interior style, from modern and linear to classic and refined. Our flooring products are ideal for both residential and commercial applications, and are manufactured with low-emitting adhesives. FSC certification and LEED credits available. Palm is a deeply beautiful material evoking the mystery and the magic of the tropics.
