As a furniture supplier, we love Scandinavian designs.
The Nordic furnishings inspire our manufacturing every day. The clean lines and functional shapes are beautiful and elegant. The items are as relevant today as they were in the early 50’s. The mid-century furniture designs remain modern and relevant. No precious details and ornements. Nordic designs are practical. Luxury lies in the design details. As a manufacturer, we love that Scandinavian furniture look great and feel perfect. Seating in a Danish chair is to the point. The seat feels good. The backseat has he right angle. There is a right balance in the general shape.

The furniture will receive a lot of heat and salty air. This is why we use quality materials. The items will stand the test of time and the harsh conditions.

Artisan Craft Furniture manufacturing for an interior design studio in UK.

We manufactured a furniture series paying tribute to craftsmanship for a design studio in the United Kingdom.

A UK interior design studio asked us to manufactured a series of “well-crafted and elegant” items. This brief allowed us to think about what artisan craft furniture meant to our company. When we think about it, craftsmanship plays a key role in furniture design. As a manufacturer, we aim to reach an international level of professionalism. The quality of our work comes the passion and care we put into it. We give the greatest attention to detail. We refine our skills every day. Practice help us set up our quality standards. We strive for perfection in our work. We care about the smallest details. We know that details make the difference. From wood carving to copper work, Indonesia is a country with a lot of skills. Yet handicraft is not the only creation we like. We love Nature. We acknowledge the beauties created by mother Nature. Generations after generations, Nature craft timeless beauties we can see around us. A true artisan is meticulous about the details. Nature do. Look at any piece of timber and the beauty of the wood grain will take your breath away. The smallest teak vein holds as much beauty as any modern design. Like Nature, generations of craftsmen know the patience it takes to create a quality item. People work on a skill day after day and teach it to their children. They build furniture with care and passion. Over time, they present their creations with pride. We don’t want our furnishings to be disposable. We make a difference between good design and great design. We aim to combine age-old craftsmanship quality with modern exigence. We commit ourselves to the continuous development of your skills. We practice every day and improve step by step. We manufacture for the future. We want to offer creations built to last. The more we do it and the more we see how much there is to learn.
