Indonesian Teak Furniture Manufacturer: How Indocasa Designs and Builds in Jepara

In short: Indocasa is a teak furniture manufacturer based in Jepara, Central Java, the town at the heart of Indonesia’s woodworking tradition. We design our own collections, select and kiln-dry our teak in house, build and hand-finish every piece with local artisans, and ship to private clients, hotels, resorts and trade partners around the world.

Searching for an Indonesian teak furniture manufacturer usually means one of two things: you want furniture made from genuine solid teak, and you want to buy it from the people who actually make it rather than from a reseller. This guide explains what a manufacturer like Indocasa does, why Indonesia leads the world in teak furniture, and what you can expect when you work with us.

What does a teak furniture manufacturer actually do?

A true manufacturer controls the whole chain, from raw timber to a finished, packed piece. At Indocasa that means:

• Sourcing. We travel widely to find the best sources of teak, build long-term relationships with suppliers, and work with the government forestry department so that trees are regularly replanted.
• Drying. Every board is kiln-dried in our own chambers, where temperature and moisture are controlled closely. Properly dried teak is stable and far less likely to crack or warp once it reaches your home.
• Design and prototyping. Our collections reinterpret contemporary European design. Each new piece is drawn, prototyped and refined before it goes into production.
• Craft. Skilled Jepara artisans, many trained in techniques handed down through generations, shape, join and assemble each piece.
• Finishing and quality control. Every surface is sanded and finished by hand, then checked before packing.
• Export. We coordinate international delivery and, where a project needs it, installation.

Why Indonesia leads the world in teak furniture

Teak (Tectona grandis) has been grown in managed plantations on Java for more than a century, which gives Indonesian makers a steady, traceable supply of mature timber. Java also has one of the deepest pools of woodworking skill anywhere, centred on Jepara. That combination of plantation timber, generations of craft knowledge and an export industry built over decades is why so many hotels and furniture brands source from here.

Indonesian timber exports also run through a national legality system, SVLK, which documents where the wood comes from. Our guide on choosing a teak wood furniture supplier explains what to ask for.

European design, Jepara craftsmanship

Indocasa was founded to bring contemporary European design together with the craft traditions of Jepara. You can see it in the collections: the sculpted arms of the Tulipano armchair, the clean trestle base of the Ibiza dining table, and the fluted, wall-hung Rainwood vanity. Each is simple in outline but carefully worked in the details.

What we make

Our catalogue runs to more than 300 designs across three collections:

• Indoor: sofas, lounge chairs, dining tables and chairs, beds, wardrobes, consoles, desks and storage.
• Outdoor: lounge sets, sun loungers, dining sets and cabanas for terraces, pool decks and resorts.
• Bathroom: teak vanity cabinets, mirrors, columns and towel racks.

Solid teak is the backbone of almost everything we make, often combined with natural stone, marble, woven cane or upholstery. Anything in the catalogue can be adapted, and our bespoke service builds pieces to your own dimensions and finishes.

Who we work with

Over four decades our furniture has gone into private homes and more than 100 luxury hospitality projects, including Hyatt Makassar, Le Méridien Kuala Lumpur, The Westin London City and resorts from the Maldives to Mexico. We also supply wholesale and trade partners who sell our pieces in their own markets. You can browse the full list on our projects page.

You can see the furniture in person at our showrooms in Ubud (Bali), Jakarta, Surabaya and Jepara. The Jepara showroom sits beside the workshop, so it is the best place to see how the furniture is made.
