bogu+ offers authentic Chinese craft pieces that embody the passion, creativity, and dedication of the artisans who make them, while also featuring original creations that reflect our own commitment to quality and innovation.
What is Bogu?
The name bogu "博古" (Bó gǔ) finds its roots in classical Chinese literature, meaning "a broad knowledge or deep understanding of antiquities and ancient culture.” It reflects our appreciation for traditional culture. Erudites used expressions such as "博古通今" (Bó gǔ tōng jīn), to mean "knowledgeable about past and present." Our "+" suffix signifies our discipline in connecting timeless traditions with contemporary innovation, linking cultural heritage with modern living. bogu+ represents a bridge between the ancient and modern, East and West, and ultimately - artisans and your home.
