Handcrafted in Jepara
Artisans cut, join and sand each piece by hand in our workshop, using mortise-and-tenon joinery wherever the design allows.
How the joinery holds up
Most of our frames are joined with mortise-and-tenon joints — a tab cut into one piece that fits a matching slot in the other, locked with wood glue rather than metal fasteners. It's slower than screwing a frame together, but it doesn't loosen the way hardware-only joints can after a few years of use.
Before any piece is packed, it's kiln-dried down to roughly 10–16% moisture content. Teak cut and used locally in Indonesia's humid climate can hold much more moisture than that — enough that a piece can crack or its joints can loosen once it reaches a heated home in a colder, drier climate. Drying it down before it ships is what prevents that.
Finishing is done by hand: sanded through several grits, then either oiled to keep the honey-brown color or left untreated for outdoor pieces that will weather to a silver-grey patina over time.
