CONSTRUCTED WITH TRADITIONAL WOODCRAFT TECHNIQUES
Our carpenters use a variety of time-tested joinery methods to craft each chair’s solid teak frame. The visible joinery adds beauty, provides strength, and helps us minimize the use of metal fasteners.
OVER 400 FEET OF NATURAL RATTAN
Our weavers hand weave the seat and backrest using a distinctive webbing pattern. The rattan is woven directly through holes drilled into each teak frame. This adds a lightness and transparency, both literally and visually, as well as ergonomic comfort.
CELEBRATING THE JOURNEY
We label each piece with a brass plaque symbolizing the tree it comes from, the hands that craft it, and the story to continue with you.
ABOUT TREEHAUSE
Just like the Farm-to-Table concept, the materials we use, as with food, are only as exceptional as where it comes from and the hands who prepare it. We source local, sustainable materials and collaborate with the most skilled artisans to bring our natural modern style to your home. We sell directly to you online—there are no middlemen. This enables us to offer you handcrafted products, made with the finest materials, at more accessible prices than traditional luxury brands. This is Tree-to-Hause.

MEET THE ARTISANS
Our Artisan partner in Jepara is an Indonesian, family-owned workshop that employs 100 local artisans. They come from multiple generations of carving and furniture making and have been in business for over 30 years. Dyah has been a wonderful friend throughout this entire journey. There is no denying her knowledge of the wood industry—from sourcing the highest quality, local materials to constructing seamless joinery. The workshop has a true community environment, and they genuinely care for each of their employees— providing jobs for many mothers in the community who need the flexibility to work from home. Highlighting the natural beauty of the raw materials is the workshop’s main focus. They ensure each step of the process is done with the utmost respect and intention. Their unrivaled commitment to quality is seen in every cut, sand, and stain. Dyah, and her family, value the talents of the community they call home. The artisans’ skills are born from this place—both from nature and familial. Through their craft, they are able to preserve this heritage.
