Meet the makers behind Cinta

Before it becomes a piece for your home, it is part of someone’s life, their skill, their story.

Craft, Community & Continuity

Rattan craft in Indonesia has existed for centuries, rooted in regions like Kalimantan, Java, and Sulawesi where rattan grows naturally in the forests.

What began as a necessity - making baskets, tools, and furniture for daily life - slowly evolved into a specialised craft. Today, entire communities are built around it. Workshops often sit beside homes. Families are involved across stages - shaping, bending, assembling. Skills are not formally taught, but passed down through generations, refined over years of practice.

For many, this craft is their primary livelihood.
It sustains households, supports local economies, and preserves a way of life that continues through collective effort.

The hands behind every piece

Each piece is shaped by hand - through processes that rely on experience, not machines. No two pieces are identical.
Because no two hands work the same way.

To preserve this craft is to support the people who live by it.

We work closely with these communities - ensuring the craft continues with respect for their skill, their time, and their environment.
