Since 1995, Teratai Furniture has operated as an artisanal manufacturing workshop in Jepara, Central Java—the epicentre of Indonesia’s world-renowned timber carving and woodworking tradition. For over three decades, we have partnered with commercial furniture importers, retail chains, hospitality developers, and architectural design studios across the United States, New Zealand, and Western Europe.
Digital photography and product catalogs cannot fully convey wood density, tactile grain orientation, tensile joint precision, or hand-applied topcoat depth. We welcome international purchasing agents, furniture buyers, and interior designers to tour our operational floors, inspect SVLK-certified timber lots, observe live joinery, and review engineering schematics directly with our master craftsmen.
Speak face-to-face with production supervisors and timber technicians without broker intermediaries.
Inspect legal SVLK supply chains, moisture kiln logs, and Grade A vs. Grade B teak selections.
A workshop visit eliminates ambiguity in procurement, ensuring total confidence in structural integrity, timber standards, and export packaging specifications.
Audit our SVLK-verified kiln-dried logs and sawn boards. Confirm targeted moisture content (MC 8%–12%) using electronic pin-meter testing to prevent warping or checking in extreme climates across North American and European destinations.
Examine our interlocking structural joints, dovetail drawer construction, and mortise-and-tenon framing. See how our craftsmen avoid fast commercial staples and shortcut fasteners, ensuring pieces withstand commercial contract hospitality use.
Compare hand-rubbed natural oil patinas, polyurethane protective seals, and specialized duco finishes. Bring custom PANTONE or physical wood swatches to calibrate custom multi-layer staining before serial container production runs.
Our workshop is a focused manufacturing environment. During your walk-through, you will trace the transformation of raw Indonesian timber into export-ready furniture.
Initial sorting of solid Tectona grandis (teak) and Indonesian mahogany. Dimensional cross-cutting, edging, and planar dimensioning based on CAD specifications.
Four resident master joiners manually fit sub-assemblies, mortises, floating panels, and concealed solid wood runners, accommodating natural wood expansion.
Multi-step progressive dry hand and orbital sanding from 120-grit to 400-grit ultra-fine finish, eliminating cross-grain scratches and preparing timber fibers.
Dedicated quality engineers inspect structural tolerance, finish uniformity, and hardware fit before wrap packing in corrugated cardboard and moisture barrier sheets.
To ensure a productive technical consultation without interrupting machine cutting or finish cures, we host international sourcing tours by advance booking.
Conveniently located along the primary woodworking commercial artery of Jepara:
Maximize the efficiency of your technical sourcing session:
Practical information regarding workshop access, technical evaluations, and B2B ordering.
Yes. We operate an active timber production facility rather than a retail showroom. Booking in advance ensures our master craftsmen, finishing specialists, and technical staff are available to review your specifications and guide you safely.
We operate exclusively on a B2B made-to-order manufacturing basis. You can evaluate timber samples, joinery standards, and active production batches to calibrate your custom order specifications before receiving an official proforma quote.
Buyers can observe precision timber grading (Grade A vs. Grade B teak), kiln-dry testing, structural mortise-and-tenon joinery, multi-stage calibrated hand sanding, and climate-controlled finishing applications.
Yes. Our facility operates seven days a week from 08:00 to 16:00 WIB (UTC+7) to accommodate tight travel schedules for international sourcing managers and interior design directors.
All completed container loads are packed in export-grade multi-layer protection and loaded directly from our Jepara workshop for ocean freight dispatch via Port of Tanjung Emas, Semarang.
Whether planning your upcoming purchasing trip to Central Java or looking to validate custom teak specifications for an upcoming container shipment, our production team is ready to assist your B2B requirements.
