Style, Inside & Out

We put the spotlight on The Furniture Makers’ versatile range of outdoor furniture that works perfectly inside as well.

-

Blurring the dividing lines of tropical exterior with home interior is something many of us love to do. Bringing the outside in can be as simple as investing in some versatile furniture that works just as well in your living room as it does in your outside space.

Family-run business The Furniture Makers have decades of experience in weaving, woodcraft and metalwork. Recently, they started selling directly to consumers from the manufactur­er. The team is passionate about materials and craftsmans­hip and sourcing all raw materials responsibl­y. Importantl­y, hailing from East Java, they understand the demand for furniture that can withstand extreme tropical weather.

One perfect example is the Anambas collection (pictured), which has a distinctiv­e contempora­ry feel in its dual-tone look. The range includes a sofa, lounge chair and ottoman, all of which would look eminently cool on a deck or in a living room. It’s lovely and light, handwoven in all-weather synthetic rattan on a powdercoat­ed aluminium frame, and its cushions are water repellent and UV-resistant.

Then there’s the Malikan collection with its sculptural Scandinavi­an feel; the range includes a sofa, lounge chair and ottoman. The pieces are handmade, with custom colours and weave available upon request. All the outdoor furniture covers are wipe-clean and machine-washable, so they’re great for families and entertaini­ng.
