Sustainability and eco-conscious trends have risen in these recent years. People are starting to take good care of the environment by implementing the 3R concept which consists of reduce, reuse, and recycle. This ‘green’ trend has also hit the furniture industry.  With the new decade kicking off with sustainability in the spotlight, it is no surprise that teak, rattan, cane, natural fiber, and other natural materials are hotter than ever for home interiors, with previews of 2021 lines indicating there is much more to come. However, this new shift of focus on sustainability is more than an interior trend – it is set to become a way of life.

Teak wood is well known as the outdoor furniture material. Its strength and durability make this material standstill in every weather. Manufacturers in Indonesia usually cut the tree as the raw material for outdoor furniture. Furthermore, instead of wasting the root, they use it for making ornaments, homeware and accessories such as cutleries like bowls, spoons, forks, cake dishes, and many more. This material adds natural and eco-friendly vibes to your home.

Why choose wooden cutleries?

To Protect the Environment

Legal teak wood is an eco-friendly and sustainable furniture material. It can minimize deforestation, the greatest issue in the furniture industry. Manufacturers who hold the FSC or SVLK certificate In Indonesia are showing their act in preserving the environment. The teak root is used to be a waste and ends up at the landfill straight after the tree has cut down. However, nowadays this material is used to make furniture, home décor, and kitchenware. It means we could minimize material waste and protect the environment.
