A guide Indonsian woods

When you want to buy wood furniture then a few different styles spring to mind. Darkened woods of Asia are very popular, and that’s because they look good in almost every home. Dark woods, especially with brickwork, give a room a warm, and homely feel, and the materials extremely strong and hard wearing, even for houses with children. There’s a texture to a piece of wooden furniture, like a chair, or a coffee table, like no other material, and that’s why you find wooden furniture in so many homes.
If Indian furniture is populist, then furniture from Indonesia is for the specialist. Indonesian furniture is still not widely on sale, in fact many pieces are likely to be labelled as coming from India, but if you can find a retailer who specialises in furniture from this region then you’ll be in for a treat. There’s a wide range of woods that are forested in Indonesia, and a great tradition in working with this type of material, so that the colours, shadings, and depths, of the wood are almost endless.
Tangkoko produce ethically produced wood furniture, which means that the producers are treat in a fair way, with the local community benefitting from their work. It’s now hugely important to consumers, as there is an even greater understanding of how buying furniture can affect the people that produce it. Ethically produced furniture can be beautiful, but it can also give you a bit of a glow, as you’re supporting the community that make it.
There’s more to purchasing a piece of furniture though, as items take up a lot of space on a truck which in turn burns more fuel. Which is why the delivery charges from many furniture retailers is so high and the rising fuel prices which leads to a greater impact on the planet before you get the furniture.
One of the best ways to counter this is to carbon offset the delivery, which means that the retailer calculates the amount of carbon used by the delivery vehicle, and then this is ‘replaced’, by the purchasing trees on your behalf. There’s often wrapping delivered with wooden furniture, so Tangkoko will take this away too ( after moving the wood furniture in to the room of your choice), which means that your new, ethically sourced, furniture is as kind to the environment as you can get.
