Sustainability
Our Materials
Rich in fertile soils, Indonesia creates the perfect environment to grow natural materials such as coconuts, bamboo, vegetables, plants and wood.
Loofah
This cute sponge is from a local plant called "Teruwuk" or many people call it Loofah. This Natural Sponges are usually used as cleaning tools for dishes, cutlery and as well for the body.
Just like regular sponges, Loofah gets really soft and comfortable when soaked with water and soap.
Loofah is the most sustainable option to replace the usual plastic sponges and it creates no waste.
Also, doesn't release any micro plastic particles into your home.
Coconut
Coconuts are one of the main resources of most tropical countries. Coconut's fruits and coconut wood are both resources that grow easily and can be used for multiple purposes.
Every year billions of coconuts grow and are harvested for their water and white meat - unfortunately 99% of coconut shells go to waste, and are often burned which releases CO2 (Carbon dioxide) and Methane emissions into the atmosphere. Instead, the coconut shells are turned into 100% sustainable and eco-friendly bowls.
Bamboo
Bamboo can be a very sustainable crop: a fast-growing grass, it requires no fertiliser and self-regenerates from its own roots, so it doesn't need to be replanted. Bamboo can grow 90cm per day and it's a very strong, durable material that is often used for building and small accessories.
It's considered one of the most sustainable resources in the world.
Rattan
Rattan is just amazing! Rattan is a naturally renewable palm that grows in the tropical regions of Asia, and is used for furniture, handicrafts, and building material among others.
Fortunately, we are on a paradise island and surrounded by palm trees.
This means unlimited Rattan!
When you take home one of our Rattan products, you are not only taking a beautiful and durable piece, you are also taking a small part of our island.

Talented Artisans
It’s incredible how talented and skilled the Sasak people are!
While you go through the streets of Lombok you will be easily inspired by the tents and small shops that shelter the artisans of the Island.
Using rustic and old fashioned tools, the artisans will show you on the spot how much work they put into each piece and how detailed every movement they make is.
Generations of Experience
Want to hear a funny story?
In the village of Sukarara, Lombok, the tradition says that a woman cannot get married unless she can master the art of weaving a Boho Towel.
This is a cultural teaching that has been passed through generations and proves how important and valuable it is for the Sasak people to keep producing their unique crafts. That is why we make sure to share this knowledge with the world.
Lombok and its magnificent beauty
Lombok is an island in West Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. It is worldwide known for having beautiful beaches, breathtaking landscapes and clear waters make it perfect for tourism activities such as Surf or Diving.
But what makes this island so special is how unique and authentic the communities of this island are. Sasak people are divided in communities and have as main occupation farming, fishing, or Art-crafting.
