    Suharto, the owner of the design workshop, has a passion for everything that is made out of wood. All products are handcrafted from waste teak wood (teak root). They select + source the materials themselves to ensure the materials have the best quality and are eco sustainable. The workshop is located in a small beautiful village in East Java + creates job opportunities for the villagers and people in the surrounding the area. 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.
