Our journey begins with a passion for exquisite wood serveware, evolving into a diverse range of kitchenware, decor, and lifestyle products.

In ancient times, wooden bowls, plates, and utensils were common in households across the globe. Cultures from the Vikings in Scandinavia to the indigenous tribes of North America utilized wood for its accessibility and ease of shaping. Wooden serveware was not only practical but also an art form, with intricate carvings and designs that reflected cultural heritage and craftsmanship.

In Asia, the use of wood for serveware has a rich and varied history. Traditional Japanese lacquerware, known as “urushi,” has been used for over 9,000 years. The Chinese have long crafted beautiful wooden bowls and utensils from bamboo and hardwoods, and in Southeast Asia, teak and acacia have been used for centuries in both everyday and ceremonial contexts. The diverse cultures of Asia have developed unique techniques and styles, contributing to the global appreciation of wooden serveware.

As trade routes expanded, different types of wood became available, each bringing its own set of characteristics and benefits. Today, this rich history continues as we explore a variety of woods to create serveware that honors tradition while embracing modern design.

Acacia: Acacia wood stands out with its rich, dark hues and distinctive grain patterns. It’s a durable and water-resistant wood, perfect for items that come into frequent contact with food and liquids. Acacia’s natural beauty and resilience make it a favorite for cutting boards and serving platters.

Maple: Maple wood is known for its strength and fine, even texture. Its pale color and subtle grain patterns make it a versatile option that complements a wide range of kitchen styles. Maple’s durability and beauty make it a popular choice for cutting boards, serveware, and kitchen utensils, offering a clean and timeless appeal

Bamboo: Technically a grass, bamboo is celebrated for its sustainability and rapid growth. Lightweight yet strong, bamboo has a smooth texture ideal for a variety of serveware products. Its eco-friendly nature makes it a top choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

Teak: Teak wood is highly valued for its natural oil content, which makes it exceptionally resistant to moisture and pests. Its warm golden-brown color and robust durability make it a premium choice for serveware that can withstand heavy use, perfect for both indoor and outdoor settings.

Olivewood: Each piece of olive wood serveware is unique, showcasing stunning, swirling grain patterns and rich color variations. This Mediterranean hardwood is known for its density and durability, making it ideal for beautiful and long-lasting kitchen pieces.

Cherry: Cherry wood offers a smooth texture and a beautiful reddish-brown hue that deepens with age. It’s strong and stable, often used in fine furniture and high-quality serveware due to its appealing aesthetics and excellent workability.

Walnut: Walnut wood is dark, dense, and highly durable. Its rich, chocolate-brown color and intricate grain patterns make it a sought-after material for luxury serveware. Walnut’s elegance and strength ensure that pieces made from this wood are both beautiful and long-lasting. 

Beech: Beech wood is light in color with a fine, tight grain that makes it easy to work with. It’s hard and strong, commonly used in kitchen utensils and serveware. Beech’s neutral appearance allows it to blend seamlessly with various kitchen decors.

Rattan: While not a wood, rattan is a vine-like plant known for its lightweight and durable nature. Perfect for weaving into intricate patterns, rattan provides both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Its rapid growth and minimal environmental impact make it a highly sustainable choice for serveware and furniture.
