Product Information

DESIGN & INSPIRATION

Our designs are inspired by creating functional and decorative interior furnishings for the contemporary household. Whether for single living or family life, our designs fulfill the needs of both. We strive to produce timeless and long lasting products that enhance the quality of peace and comfort within your home.

Our creations combine classic lines with a contemporary edge to effortlessly blend into your living space, complimenting your unique style choices with ease and comfort. The simplicity of our designs evoke a natural elegance in all settings and reflect a craftsmanship infused with charm.

Initial designs begin with identifying a need or an augmentation and working out from there. Starting with a simple sketch, an approved design leads to a physical product sample. The sample is tested for functionality, durability and its visual appeal. Approved samples move through to the manufacturing process, where each product is held to a sequence of quality control standards throughout its production.

MATERIAL PROCUREMENT

All wood materials used in the production of our furniture are sourced from the island of Java, Indonesia. To comply with our ethical procurement policy, all hardwood materials are SVLK (Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu) certified. SVLK is an internationally recognized verification system that ensures the timber used in the production and export of wooden products is legally sourced from sustainable plantations; it is overseen by the department of forestry in Indonesia.

The rattan material used in the weaving of our chairs and rattan accessories is carefully selected to ensure the aging of the material is as natural and pure as possible. We use two varieties of this renewable resource: kubu rattan, a thicker variety; and split rattan, a thinner and more malleable variety.

CARPENTRY

The manufacturing of our products is considered to be a “semi-machine” process. The majority of our furniture is built with a kiln-dried solid mahogany frame and composite wood (MDF) paneling. The wood is treated with a wood protectant before the kiln dry treatment. Following a standard design template, wooden materials are sawed and planed to the necessary thicknesses and lengths required for each component’s design using modern machinery. Components are then moulded and grooved according to their specifications. Jointing follows and upon completion, the components proceed to assembly. MDF components are primed with a coat of paint along their exterior surfaces prior to assembly.

As for our rattan products, the rattan is hand-woven around a solid wood frame. Depending on the intended color of the rattan, it is either treated before or after the weaving process.

ASSEMBLY

Our products are hand assembled by skilled craftsmen. The majority of our furniture is assembled through the mortise and tenon joinery technique, while our beds and drawers are joined through a french dovetail technique.

Small gaps at joints are left intentionally during assembly to allow for natural shrinkage and expansion of the wood materials.

The result is a fully assembled product, with the exception of hutch units, tables & beds, which require minimal assembly upon arrival to your business or home.

FINISHING

Upon assembly, the product is cleaned to remove excess glue or debris then it is sanded with a hand-held machine and lastly by hand with fine sandpaper. During the finishing process, the surfaces of the products are painted and/ or stained and distressed based on their intended collection’s design. After the finish has been applied, the products air dry over the course of two to three days in a designated clean and well-ventilated area of the facility to allow for optimal drying conditions.

Our materials are carefully selected and combined in our designs to produce a long lasting durable product to be enjoyed for years to come. As such the finish may appear slightly different depending on the natural characteristics of the underlying materials surface and orientation. While all surfaces have some degree of finishing to increase the products’ resistance to moisture, only the visible and usable surfaces of the product are finished to the agreed quality control standard.

All of our products are hand finished by skilled craftsmen. This personal touch, combined with the natural characteristics of the materials used, creates a unique product that is truly one of a kind. Slight variations in finish are to be expected, and are not considered product defects.

QUALITY CONTROL

Quality inspection and assessment are conducted at each stage of the production process. In the final phase, prior to packaging, the finished product is evaluated against an approved master sample to ensure both visual and functional compliance. Any item that does not meet the quality standards is returned to the preceding stage for modification and re-evaluation until it successfully passes quality control.

The assessment procedure involves measuring the dimensions of each product, verifying the moisture content level is within the appropriate range, checking product balance and stability on a level surface, testing functionality of all moving components and respective hardware, inspecting the finishing of each product in natural daylight, ensuring the proper application of any safety labels (if necessary), confirming the inclusion of anti-tip kits (if necessary), ensuring the inclusion of required hardware for assembly and the assembly instructions, and finally reviewing the product warranty, disclaimer, and care instructions.

Additionally, each year the paint products used in our finishes are subject to 3rd party quality control assessment completed by PT TUV Rheinland. TÜV Rheinland Indonesia is a private organization in the field of testing, inspecting and certification services and is a member of TÜV Rheinland Group headquartered in Cologne, Germany.

PACKAGING

After passing the quality check, the product is packed. Foam wrap and tape protect surfaces, while styrofoam bricks secure corners and edges. Doors and drawers are foam wrapped and secured with styrofoam or cardboard. The units are placed in custom triple-layered boxes with silica gel to control moisture.

Our team performs final checks to ensure protection from abrasion and damage, verifies box labels match contents and quantity, and ensures any additional shipping instructions are clearly labeled.

SHIPMENT & STORAGE

Our products are carefully loaded from the manufacturing facility into a shipping container. To control moisture during ocean shipment, dry-absorbency bags are placed in each shipping container to stabilize the humidity.

Upon arrival at the destination warehouse, the warehouse staff unload the products from the shipping container onto designated racks in their facility where they are safely stored until an order is received.

When a product order is received, the warehouse staff prepare the shipment, which can involve palletizing, strapping & stretch wrapping. The order is then transferred to the delivery agent to be shipped to the customer’s business or home.
