At Kasih Co-op, every product we craft tells a story of artistry, sustainability, and respect for our planet. Our hand-turned wood products exemplify this commitment, blending traditional Indonesian craftsmanship with sustainable practices to create timeless pieces that you can feel good about owning.
Sourcing Certified Legal Wood
One of the core tenets of our process is ensuring the wood we use is ethically sourced. All our materials come from certified legal wood, verified through Indonesia’s stringent Surat Verifikasi Legal Kayu (SVLK) system. This certification ensures that the wood has been harvested responsibly, without contributing to deforestation or harming local ecosystems.
The SVLK certification also supports Indonesian communities by promoting transparency and sustainability in the forestry industry. By sourcing materials through this system, we’re not just protecting forests but also advocating for fair trade practices and supporting local livelihoods.
The Hand-Turning Process: A Labor of Love
Creating a hand-turned wooden item is as much an art as it is a skill. Our artisans carefully select each piece of wood for its unique grain and natural beauty. The turning process involves shaping the wood on a lathe, using traditional techniques passed down through generations.
This meticulous method allows our artisans to highlight the organic patterns and textures inherent in the wood. Each curve and contour is shaped with precision, resulting in a piece that is both functional and one-of-a-kind.
Our artisans take pride in honoring the material, ensuring minimal waste while crafting pieces designed to last a lifetime. The result? Beautiful, durable items that bring a touch of nature and craftsmanship to your home.
