Not all wood is created equal—especially when it comes with a story. At our company, we are proud to source our reclaimed wood from decommissioned Indonesian shipping boats, giving new life to materials that have weathered the storms and sailed the seas. More than just a sustainable choice, each piece of reclaimed wood furniture we create is a testament to history, craftsmanship, and timeless design.
The Origin of Reclaimed Wood
In the bustling shipyards of Indonesia, massive wooden vessels are decommissioned after years of service. Rather than discarding this beautifully aged timber, local artisans salvage the wood, preserving its rich character and history. The teak, mahogany, and ironwood from these boats are often decades old, naturally seasoned by saltwater and sun—making them incredibly durable and visually stunning.
Each knot, crack, and weathered surface tells a story of distant voyages and ocean adventures. This reclaimed wood is then meticulously transformed into stunning furniture pieces that bring authenticity and craftsmanship into your living spaces.

Why Reclaimed Wood is Sustainable and Eco-Friendly
One of the biggest benefits of using reclaimed wood is its sustainability. By repurposing materials from old shipping boats, we help reduce deforestation and the demand for new lumber. This process not only preserves natural resources but also minimizes waste.
Using reclaimed wood also cuts down on carbon emissions associated with logging, processing, and transportation of new timber. It’s a responsible choice that benefits both your home and the environment.

The Craftsmanship Behind Reclaimed Wood Furniture
Crafting furniture from reclaimed wood is an art form in itself. In our Indonesian factories, skilled artisans take great care in restoring each plank, sanding it down while keeping its natural imperfections. Every piece is hand-finished, highlighting its original grain and markings.
This craftsmanship ensures that each item is truly one-of-a-kind, combining old-world charm with modern durability. The result? Furniture that not only looks incredible but stands the test of time.
