"All our products are made from salvaged building materials or plantation timbers. We are committed to earth friendly practices."
Premier Collection:
OUR FACTORY IS LOCATED IN A SMALL VILLAGE JUST OUTSIDE OF YOGYAKARTA, INDONESIA. THIS AREA OF THE WORLD HAS THE TWO RESOURCES NECESSARY TO MANUFACTURE QUALITY SOLID WOOD MAHOGANY FURNITURE : PLANTATION GROWN MAHOGANY AND HIGHLY SKILLED FURNITURE CRAFTSMEN.
MANY ARE NOT AWARE THAT INDONESIA IS ONE OF THE FEW COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD THAT HAVE ESTABLISHED, OLD GROWTH MAHOGANY TREE PLANTATIONS. AS A RESULT OF OVER-LOGGING AND DEFORESTATION, MOST MAHOGANY IS DEEMED TO BE COMMERCIALLY EXTINCT AND IS, IN FACT, ILLEGAL TO HARVEST. HOWEVER, INDONESIA HAS MAHOGANY PLANTATIONS THAT DATE BACK OVER 100 YEARS.
EACH PIECE OF FURNITURE IN THE PREMIER COLLECTION IS INDIVIDUALLY HAND CRAFTED BY OUR HIGHLY SKILLED CRAFTSMEN SO NO TWO PIECES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME – YET – EACH PIECE IS A TRIBUTE TO THE FURNITURE CRAFTING SKILLS PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION.
FROM THE PURCHASING OF MAHOGANY LOGS TO BE SAWN BY OUR OWN SAWMILLS TO THE FINAL FINISHING AND PACKING, OUR FACTORY IS VERTICALLY INTEGRATED TO INSURE THAT EVERY STAGE OF THE BUILDING / ASSEMBLING PROCESS IS CONTROLLED BY OUR STRICT STANDARDS.
INFORMED CONSUMERS KNOW THAT EACH PIECE OF HANDCRAFTED SOLID MAHOGANY FURNITURE IS A WORK OF ART. OUR GOAL IS TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN ALTERNATIVE TO MASS PRODUCED MDF, PLYWOOD FURNITURE WITH VENEER SURFACES. UNLIKE MANUFACTURED COMPOSITE WOOD, EARTH FRIENDLY SOLID WOOD WILL MOVE SLIGHTLY AS IT ADJUSTS TO THE HUMIDITY LEVELS OF IT’S SURROUNDINGS. THIS IS PERFECTLY NATURAL AND WILL ADD TO THE UNIQUENESS OF THE PIECE.
