SERAT KAYU

The company
Serat Kayu (Mino's Gallery) was founded in 1989. Our core business activity is producing best quality old and new wooden furniture.
Our expertise in furniture designs has prompted us to focus on the furniture business.

The product
We produce only the best quality of old and new wooden carved furniture, with a variety of designs and models. Our products include chairs, tables and cupboards. We serve both domestic and overseas markets, which include Singapore and European countries such as the Netherlands, Spain and France. Our production lead-time is ten days for ten items, including finishing and five days for one item. We currently export one 40 foot container per month.

The resources
Our personnel totals twenty-seven, including twelve skilled and talented artisans. We realize that carving requires a special skill and talent and therefore we employ artisans from Jepara, in Central Java where carving skills are handed down from generation to generation.

Quality
With eleven years experience in the furniture business, we have learned to provide the very best quality products tailored to meet the needs of our customers. In addition to sourcing high quality teak wood, we also place special emphasis on the finishing process.

The material
We mainly use teak wood for our products but sometimes use mahogany and songkai, depending on our customer order. As we want to satisfy our customers or buyers, we choose teak wood as our material because of its fine fiber and antique look. Teak is also durable because it is immune to termites. Overseas buyers prefer teak because it is resistant to seasonal change in climate. To meet the demand, we have to search for old teak logs at auctions or obtain it from demolished houses or buildings.

The workshop
To produce high quality products, we use both manual methods and electric tools in our 800 square meter workshop. It is true we cut the logs with electric saws but from then on, the wood passes only through the skilled and talented hands of artisans, resulting in a variety of artistically designed furniture pieces.
