➤ The sustainable main material: rattan
This rapidly renewable raw material is obtained from rattan palms, which grow as climbing plants in the tropical forests of Indonesia. Their branches and trunks are harvested by hand without damaging the surrounding trees and then dried. The inner part of the branches and trunks is used in varying thicknesses for furniture, baskets, or lamps, while the bark is cut into strips and used for delicate weaving, such as the well-known Viennese wickerwork. Because rattan palms require an intact ecosystem to grow, rattan processing provides an incentive for the local population to maintain healthy, natural forests.
➤ The production process: From raw material to finished side table
Our Bayu side tables are handcrafted by skilled artisans on the Indonesian island of Java. Each piece begins with the creation of a sturdy metal tube frame, which forms the solid foundation of the design. With great precision and patience, the artisans then hand-weave exceptionally thin and long strands of rattan into the frame. Apart from a protective clear lacquer, the rattan remains completely untreated, retaining its naturally light, golden hue. The entire process takes approximately two days and demands both meticulous attention to detail and true craftsmanship.
➤ Our production partners: Selected according to fair trade criteria
When selecting our local production partners, we prioritize fair wages, safe working conditions, and reasonable working hours. We work exclusively with small, family-run businesses with a maximum of 20 to 30 employees. All of them are experienced, adult craftspeople. Older people, especially those no longer able to work in agriculture, benefit from jobs in these crafts, as they can use their skills, acquired early in life, to earn a living and pass on traditional production methods to the younger generation. They have often told us how happy they are to be able to create something meaningful and earn a good living. Because all work is done by hand, the production process generates virtually no greenhouse gas emissions. We ensure all of this through regular on-site visits and ongoing personal contact with the businesses.
