Buch used organic, flowing lines to create distinctive mid-century designs. Like many of his Danish contemporaries, he combined fabric and leather with beautifully grained woods such as polished teak, oak, and rosewood.

Buch achieved success with his iconic Model 49 chair (1949). The chair features a curved, “floating” seat and a classic modern Scandinavian aesthetic. Many of Buch’s designs are named after the year they were conceived, especially those produced by the cabinetmaker and furniture manufacturer Oddense Maskinsnedkeri (which was later renamed O.D. Møbler in the late 1960s or early 1970s, as reflected on the labels of later productions of the Model 61). It is believed that Buch passed away in 1973, although some sources suggest 1982.
