Use the table next to the sofa, as a bedside table in the bedroom, or as a decorative piece of furniture for a beautiful plant, books, or other home accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to its compact size, BAYU also fits easily into smaller spaces and empty corners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLight in appearance, sturdy within\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the natural weaving is a sturdy frame of metal tubes. This forms the base of the table and ensures that BAYU remains stable and dimensionally stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperienced craftsmen then hand-weave long, fine strands of rattan around the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rattan remains as natural as possible. Only a thin, transparent protective layer is applied to protect the material and preserve its beautiful light gold-beige color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe story behind rattan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRattan is a rapidly renewable plant-based resource derived from rattan palms that grow as climbing plants in the tropical forests of Indonesia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Soeji, the stems and branches are harvested by hand without damaging the surrounding trees and then dried.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferent parts of the plant are then given their own application. The inside of the stems can be processed into material of various thicknesses for furniture, baskets, and lamps, while the outer bark can be cut into finer strips for refined weaving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRattan palms need a healthy forest ecosystem to grow well. According to Soeji, the use of rattan can therefore also contribute to making the preservation of natural forests economically attractive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApproximately two days of handwork\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBAYU is handcrafted on Java, Indonesia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with making the metal frame. Then, exceptionally long and thin strands of rattan are woven one by one by hand around the structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis requires a lot of patience and precision. According to Soeji, it takes an average of about \u003cstrong\u003etwo days\u003c\/strong\u003e to craft one BAYU side table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is precisely this intensive handwork that creates the refined structure and artisanal character of each piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eArtisanally produced on Java\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoeji states that it collaborates with small family businesses of a maximum of approximately 20 to 30 employees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the selection of production partners, attention is paid to fair pay, safe working conditions, and reasonable working hours. The products are made by adult and experienced artisans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlder skilled workers who can no longer work in agriculture can also continue to use their traditional skills within these family businesses and pass them on to the next generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause much of the work is done entirely by hand, relatively little machine production is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach BAYU is crafted individually. Small differences in color, structure, shape, and finish are therefore possible and are part of the handmade character of the product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 55 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 45 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 45 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 7.99 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soeji\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Java, Indonesia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain material:\u003c\/strong\u003e rattan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e metal frame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e transparent protective layer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e natural light beige \/ gold-beige\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e side table, bedside table, or decorative furniture\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e handcrafted\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging:\u003c\/strong\u003e plastic-free\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is shipped \u003cstrong\u003edirectly to you from our supplier's warehouse in Germany\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe estimated delivery time within the EU is \u003cstrong\u003e2–5 working days\u003c\/strong\u003e.
