01 Indoor & Outdoor

Rattan

Handwoven in our Cirebon workshop, where rattan has been coaxed into furniture for generations. We steam and bend natural rattan core over kiln-dried teak, then bind it by hand — a single lounge chair takes a master weaver the better part of a week.

Handwoven in Cirebon, Indonesia

02 Built for the Open Air

Outdoor

Built for salt air and full sun in our Jepara teak yards. FSC-certified teak is joined the traditional way — mortise and tenon, no visible hardware — then left to silver naturally or sealed to hold its honey tone for years on a terrace.

04 Born of the Volcano

Lava Stone

Quarried from the volcanic slopes of Java and hand-glazed in small batches. Each top is fired to a deep, crackled enamel that shrugs off weather and time — no two pieces ever share the same map of colour.

Before You Ask

Custom furniture, answered

Most commissions take 8–12 weeks in the workshop, plus shipping. Your designer confirms an exact timeline with your quote — and you'll see photographs of your piece as it's built.

Yes — most projects start exactly that way. We turn your reference into measured shop drawings and a 3D rendering, and nothing is built until you've approved both.

We do. Every piece ships crated and insured from our workshop directly to your home, with white-glove placement available in most cities.

Absolutely — customer's own material is welcome. For outdoor pieces we'll recommend performance fabrics like Sunbrella so your upholstery weathers as well as the frame.

That's what the first conversation is for. Bring a room, a feeling, or nothing at all — our designer will shape it into a clear direction before you commit to anything.

One Atelier, Any Piece

Bring us a sketch, a photograph, or a room. We'll make the rest.
