Suharto, the owner of this design workshop, has a passion for everything that is made out of wood. All products they produce are handcrafted from waste teak wood (teak root). They select and source the materials themselves to ensure the materials have the best quality and are eco-sustainable.

Many people in the rural villages of Java benefit from teak root: local farmers who dig out the enormous roots, villagers who transport the roots to the craftsmen, the craftsmen who turn it into something useful and the local women who collect the wood shavings for a fire to cook on. This system reflects the nature of the village lifestyle.
