Materials
In home decor, the choice of materials significantly impacts the aesthetic appeal, functionality, and longevity of furniture. At our shop, we focus on exceptional materials crafted in Indonesia—a country renowned for its rich natural resources and skilled craftsmanship.
Teak Wood
Teak wood, scientifically known as Tectona grandis, is prized for its exceptional durability and natural resistance to the elements. Its high natural oil content creates a protective barrier against moisture, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor furniture. Over time, teak develops a rich golden-brown patina, enhancing its timeless appeal.
Indonesia, a significant contributor to the world’s teak supply, provides much of the teak used in our products. We ensure sustainability by sourcing only FSC-certified wood, and adhering to FLEGT/ SVLK principles. These standards guarantee that the timber is harvested responsibly from government-managed areas.
Teak’s remarkable durability means it can last for decades, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Investing in long-lasting teak furniture is not only cost-effective but also an eco-friendly choice, as it minimizes waste and promotes sustainable consumption.

Rattan
Rattan, a versatile material derived from climbing palms found in tropical regions, is celebrated for its lightweight strength and flexibility. It is perfect for crafting durable yet easy-to-move furniture. Its intricate weaving allows for a range of styles, particularly suited to the boho aesthetic.
As a rapidly renewable resource, rattan grows quickly and can be harvested without causing environmental harm. This makes it an excellent choice for sustainable furniture. Explore our Rattan Collection to discover pieces that combine elegance with eco-consciousness.
Suar wood
Suar wood, sourced from the fast-growing Albizia Saman tree, is a standout material in home decor for its unique grain patterns and rich tonal variations, ranging from light to dark brown. Known for its strength and stability, suar is also prized for being easier to sculpt and carve than other hardwoods, making it ideal for intricate decorative pieces and furniture with artistic detail.
A sustainable choice, suar trees grow rapidly, allowing for responsible harvesting and minimizing environmental impact. Investing in suar wood furniture ensures you bring both beauty and eco-consciousness into your home.
Weaving fibers
Weaving fibers, derived from natural plants like raffia, grass, abaca, mendong, seagrass, water hyacinth, and banana leaves, are celebrated for their versatility and artisanal charm. These fibers are lightweight yet durable, making them ideal for creating textured home accents and furniture with an earthy, organic aesthetic. The intricate weaving techniques highlight the skills of Indonesian artisans, producing pieces that are both functional and decorative.
These fibers grow abundantly and regenerate quickly, making them a highly sustainable choice. Furniture and decor made from weaving fibers bring a warm, natural element to your living space while supporting eco-friendly practices.
Sandstone
Sandstone, a sedimentary rock formed over millennia, is a timeless material used in home decor and design. Known for its natural hues, ranging from soft beige to rich gold and gray, sandstone adds a touch of elegance and serenity to any space. Its subtle textures and durable nature make it perfect for sculptures, tabletops, and outdoor accents that seamlessly blend with their surroundings.
Sustainably sourced sandstone is a long-lasting choice, reducing the environmental footprint associated with frequent replacements. By choosing sandstone, you invest in pieces that stand the test of time while enhancing the natural beauty of your home.
Why Sustainability Matters
Both teak and rattan, as well as the rest of materials we use, represent a commitment to sustainability, not only through responsible harvesting but also through their enduring quality. Furniture made from these materials is built to last a lifetime, reducing the environmental impact associated with disposable or short-lived products. By choosing durable, timeless pieces, you contribute to a more sustainable future while enhancing the beauty and functionality of your living space.
Our shop proudly combines sustainability, craftsmanship, and quality, offering furniture that is as kind to the planet as it is to your home.
