Reclaimed Teak Only 1

Reclaimed Teak Only is not just our company motto. Reclaimed Teak is a manifest to what people call with ‘kayu lawas’, which is mainly comes from old teak houses (or from other sources such as old bridges, stables, shed or cow/buffalo house, old ship, etc) with some years than can be categorize as old to be broken down and taken as main components for furniture production, the material are not from new cut-down teakwood trees or plantation teakwood. We used Reclaimed Teak Only as our motto as part of our past activities as an environmentalist so that goes with our current spirit to make our earth more greener (as in Green Furniture) and for Eco-Friendly enthusiasm which had been the talk around the world. The term of ‘kayu jati lawas’ or Reclaimed Teak in English also known as Recycled Teak, Refurbished Teak, Remade Teak, Rediscovered Teak, and many other term.

The use of material that comes from old houses, old bridges, railroad, ships, etc., we are trying our best to avoid the using of new cut-down teak trees and  also diminishing illegal logging especially to teak trees that even now is still going on.  Even though, we are not saying that we never use the new teak (especially from plantation) as our material of furniture because we still selling chairs. As known, the design of chairs used a lot of curves so it hard and difficult for us to make the chair using Reclaimed Teak material. From all material that we used, chair’s teak material taking only five percent.

In the past three years we have been trying to make our chairs using 100% Reclaimed Teak material, yet many of our buyers still buys chair with many curves design. We are constantly suggesting our buyers to use the design which had been adapted to the character of Reclaimed Teak material so it can be more Eco-Friendlier and inline with the spirit of Green Living that stricken the whole world.
