If you’ve ever wondered why we use mango wood for our handcrafted furniture, read on to find out all about this tropical hardwood and why we love it.
WHY MANGO TIMBER?
Our exclusive collection of solid mango hardwood furniture is handmade in our factory in Java, Indonesia. Why do we use mango and why should you choose it? Once the mango trees have stopped bearing fruit, the timber is a byproduct which can then be used as a sustainable option for furniture.
COLLECTION
We design our handcrafted and finished signature mango hardwood pieces. For over 20 years, our factory in central Java has been a leader in the manufacture of this solid wood furniture. A combination of contemporary, sleek design and more traditional styles mean you can find the perfect piece for your home.
COLOUR & STYLE
Our six-step tinting process creates the rich and warm tones of our honey stain. Beautifully hand-crafted, each piece is unique displaying its own natural character. The mango hardwood grain is known for its mottled lines and distinct tiger stripes in its appearance. The individuality makes each piece a one-of-a-kind item for your home.
PROCESS & CARE
Every piece of furniture in our hardwood collection is kiln-dried to 10-14% moisture content. This is the optimal percentage for the Australian environment. Mango wood is also easy to maintain and care for, simply wipe with a clean cloth and remember to protect from heat, cold or chemicals, using placemats, coasters or a tablecloth. Please note that they are treated for indoor use only.
SUSTAINABILITY
Through the local farming community, we sensibly source the raw materials for our furniture. The timber is selected from the older fruit trees. In spite of being a byproduct from the mango fruit industry, this tropical hardwood is absolutely ideal for furniture making. In using this timber, the workers can in turn plant new saplings that can grow and mature, and thus continue the sustainable cycle. This rejuvenation process also provides an extra income stream for farming communities and benefits the growers and the makers.
