Bridging Cultures ThroughTimeless Craftsmanship
ayu.co connects Singapore to the living heritage of Jepara, Indonesia — the world's most renowned center of teak wood craftsmanship.
Our Story
Jepara, a coastal town in Central Java, Indonesia, has been the heart of teak furniture craftsmanship for over 500 years. This small town produces some of the world's finest hand-carved wooden furniture, with techniques passed down through generations of master artisans.
ayu.co was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to connect discerning customers in Singapore with this extraordinary heritage. We believe that in our fast-paced modern world, there's something profoundly meaningful about owning a piece that carries centuries of tradition and countless hours of human craftsmanship.
Our role extends beyond being just a bridge. We provide design guidance to help you envision your perfect piece, maintain a quality control hub in Jakarta to ensure every item meets luxury standards, and handle the careful logistics of bringing your custom furniture to Singapore.
