The Sustainable Pioneers from Central Java, Indonesia
Johni & Lola started their company in 1995. Out of respect for the natural ressources of Java they solely use natural, sustainable raw materials for the production of home decoration and use all materials as efficiently as possible. They love working with quickly renewable plants like abaca, water hyacinth and seagrass. As true pioneers they developed multiple ways to recycle and apply new materials such as newspapers and old cement bag paper.
Basket Weaving
The basket collection is woven by hand by special craftspeople. They braid or roll the plant material into ropes first or they work with pre braided ropes. After braiding they can start weaving the basket. When creating new designs they make a mold from iron first. The mold is used guarantee consistency in size and shape according to specifications. The weaving and braiding techniques are based on ancient traditions. The choice of technique depends on the kind of plant fiber or the design.

Baskets and Lampshades from Natural Fibre
Our baskets and lampshades are made from natural leaf fibres. These materials are sundried and may contain colour variation and or stains caused by natural elements. Although the material as a whole is strong, the individual leaves can be delicate. Please handle with care! When stained, clean gently with a cloth and a very mild detergent. Do not rub to avoid colour shedding and damage to the product. Damaged spots on black basketware can be easily be touched up with a black marker or some water based black bio paint.
