The Process

How a Commission Works

Five stages, zero shortcuts. We keep you informed at every step — from selecting your beam in our Yogyakarta workshop to white-glove delivery at your door.

01

Discovery

A 30-minute consultation to understand your space, intended use, dimensions, and aesthetic direction. Share a brief, moodboard, or sketch — we work from all of it.

1–3 days
02

Material Selection

We photograph candidate beams and panels from the current archive. You choose your teak — the grain, the colour, the age marks. Each piece of teak is different; the choice is yours.

3–7 days
03

Design & Approval

Our craftsmen produce detailed drawings and, for larger commissions, a 3D preview. We agree on joints, finish, hardware, and proportions before a single cut is made.

5–10 days
04

Build

All work is carried out in our Yogyakarta atelier. No outsourcing. Mid-build progress photographs are shared at key milestones. Final inspection video before crating.

6–16 weeks
05

Delivery

Bespoke timber crating, CITES documentation, full insurance in transit. Sea freight to your nearest port; white-glove room-of-choice delivery and installation on arrival.

4–14 weeks transit
The Material

Where the Teak Comes From

Every beam in our archive has a provenance: a demolished colonial-era building, a dismantled Javanese pendopo, a market hall that no longer stands. We document origin, estimated age, and structural role before a single piece enters the workshop.

Antique Java teak — timber that grew 80 to 200 years ago before Indonesian deforestation protections — is denser, tighter-grained, and more stable than plantation teak harvested today. It cannot be replicated. Once it is gone, it is gone.

We source exclusively from legal demolition sites, certified timber salvagers, and private estates across Central Java, East Java, and Sulawesi. All export documentation is CITES-compliant.

Origin

Central Java, East Java, Sulawesi — sourced from legal demolition, salvage, and private estates.

Age of timber

80–200 years old. Denser grain than modern plantation teak — measurably more stable for furniture.

Compliance

CITES-compliant export documentation. Fumigation certificate. Legal clearance for all destination countries.

Sustainability

No new trees felled. Every piece in the archive is salvaged — the most sustainable furniture you can buy.
