Wood finishes

Coconut shell has been used for generations. The palm nuts are
organically grown by local farmers in Indonesia as well as Central and
South America.

What is not harvested for cooking oil is used to make
jewellery. The artists with whom we work have carved this organic
jewellery for over 50 years. In that time they have perfected the art to
bring you the best quality in coconut interior products. The four types
of coconuts used in the production are collectively known as palm nuts.
The Pati (pah-chee), the Dende (den-day), the Piasava (pee-ah-sava),
and the Tagua palm nuts are grown mostly for their fibres, leaves and are
often pressed to produce oil. When tumbled and polished these types of
coconuts reveal the beautiful colours that lay hidden beneath their raw
outer surface. The different shades of brown, beige, orange and black are
the natural earth-tones of the palm nuts we use in our production. No
dyes or alternative colouring is needed and none are added. We simply
tumble, sand and then polish the coconuts before as well as after they
are cut.
Bark is a left over material from the pine tree. Semani wood is the first
layer of the teak wood tree and is the left over material. A very soft
wood which feels like cork. The second layer has a tree structure and is
also being used as a finish for interior products and wall applications.
These cultivated trees grow on plantations. Materials are very green
products to work with. Rosewood has the character of ebony but is a
fast growing tree. Cinnamon sticks, cut in pieces and polished after inlay.
For the woodworking craftsman, creative improvisation and
innovation is required in combination with a trained eye and skilled
hands. To work and shape a living material, wood, into an enduring and
frequently functional form. 3D Patterns can be crafted, to be used as wall
and ceiling applications.
