Unfortunately, the potential of bamboo as a product is often focused on the functional and forgets the unique creations for the product that can increase the value of the product itself. The training conducted between Pelita Harapan University and Bamboo Community Dunia Bambu Sejahtera (DBS) aims to provide understanding and knowledge related to creative bamboo designs to meet the market for hotel and culinary amenities. Methodology: The training is done by dividing the group. Each group is taught various bamboo creations. During the training, participants were also given the opportunity to discuss about bamboo and the potential for creative creations that can be made to attract market attention. Participants are bamboo craftsmen from the world of Sukabumi bamboo. Results: Training participants gain additional knowledge about bamboo and its unique and creative bamboo creations. The results of the evaluation before and after the training showed that the participants felt that they had gained knowledge that could be integrated into making bamboo crafts. Conclusion: With this training, it is hoped that the craftsmen can improve their weaving skills which in turn will have an impact on increasing product sales and the income of the craftsmen themselves.

Introduction Bamboo is a natural resource that is found in many parts of Indonesia. Since ancient times, bamboo and the use of bamboo are widely used in various daily activities, the use of bamboo for cooking utensils, and various other household utensils. However, in an era that is increasingly modern and focused on technology, bamboo is more often used as a product that emphasizes its creations. This is because the use of products with other basic materials such as plastic is still dominant because of the durability of the basic ingredients of these products. Even though the use of bamboo-based materials is decreasing for daily activities, there is still a market for natural-based products with unique creations (Nguyen, 2018). Bamboo is an environmentally friendly material which is a sustainable interior material solution. The ability to make creative and innovative designs for bamboo products can support efforts to maximize the potential of bamboo and gain market attention (Folk, 2019; Hakiki et al., 2020; Oentoro, 2021).
