THE SAN FRANCISCO DESIGN CENTER WELCOMES DEKAYU
June 12, 2008 – San Francisco, CA -- The San Francisco Design Center welcomes
DeKayu, offering beautiful furniture for the environmentally conscious.
DeKayu comes from the word “kayu” which means wood in Indonesian. The company
embodies the philosophy that our planet is full of beauty, and in the natural
world, nothing ever goes to waste. They have taken these principles and
applied them to create beautiful customized furnishings while also helping our
planet at the same time.
“We are very excited about our upcoming exclusive furniture designs which are
bolder statement pieces. We scoured the countryside for large old pieces of
teak wood and like a sculptor with his stone, fashioned the design by letting
the wood reveal itself to us. The result is beautiful sculptural furniture
pieces that are unique, bold and follow the organic lines of the wood. Our
latest designs will also feature the option of eco-friendly water solvent
stains for our designers and their clients.” states Thesia Bowo, owner of
Dekayu.
DeKayu’s design concept is to take unique woods and craft them into functional
pieces, with a touch of Indonesian design heritage, while preserving the rich
character of the materials. All of their furniture is made of rich reclaimed
teak wood that embodies natural characteristics and has an antique texture due
to its origin. The beautiful pieces are crafted in central Java, Indonesia and
their workshop employs skillful artisans who love what they do.
“Being green takes on a whole new dimension when using recycled wood for fine
home furnishings. It elevates old world and new style to a higher level. Their
recycled wood furniture coupled with their Indonesian antiques makes DeKayu an
ideal destination for designers looking for sustainable and customized
furnishings,” states Tim Treadway, CEO of the San Francisco Design Center.
DeKayu is located at the San Francisco Design Center Galleria, 2 Henry Adams
Street, Suite 325.
