Teak wood is prized by modernist designers and traditional wood craftsmen for its resistance to cracking or warping. As foresters log off mature stands, they leave behind stumps and roots that would typically be burned out of the soil. For generations now, enterprising village craftsmen in Indonesia have extracted these abandoned roots and worked them into beautiful household products with a unique, organic nature that animates their creations.
