The History

History shapes a nation. Our business history shapes our company. We started our business as a supplier of raw rattan materials, particularly Pulut Rattan, back in 1988. Running our own rattan plantation for almost a decade had brought us valuable experiences and vast knowledge on rattan materials and then we finally decided to have our own furniture company, Indosurya Mahakam, manufacturing high quality indoor rattan furniture. To date, we have exported our furniture to Europe, United States, Australia, and Middle East and other countries across the world.

Located in Cirebon, Indonesia, a city known as the best rattan furniture manufacturers in the world, Indosurya Mahakam collaborates with local weaving experts on creating new weaving techniques and passing them to our skillful weavers.

The Materials

Indosurya Mahakam proudly claims to be the pioneer of Water Hyacinth and Abaca furniture manufacturer in Indonesia. Known as the King of Pulut, our journey starts from manufacturing Pulut Rattan furniture and continues with producing fabulous furniture from Water Hyacinth. The use of this particular plant is also good for the environment as it reduces the dense population of this plan which can block water pipe. Our journey continues with our experiment with Abaca. The unique texture of Abaca adds beauty and uniqueness to the chairs produced.

Innovation colors our journey. There are times along the journey when the market reaches saturation and innovation brings the market back to normal. NWG® (New Wicker Generation) is one of our latest innovations. In essence, NWG® is an innovative coloring technique that produces a collection of rattan weaving in beautiful unique colors.

Indigo Loom is our next innovation. Loom is actually a machine-made weaving piece made from paper. We then develop the coloring and finishing techniques to produce loom with exotic color texture which we call Indigo Loom. Problems in applying the loom onto curved chairs have led us into the next innovation, Exotic Loom®. This hand-weaved loom perfects the chairs.

From our observation, we find that the chairs in the market are either full rattan weaving or full upholstered. We see the opportunity for another innovation, combining upholstery with loom, rattan, and other materials. The result is magnificent as the chairs become the trend setter in furniture world.
