When Setia Pelem Sewu was established six years ago, it marked the intersection of design talent and Indonesian natural fibers. Since then, bamboo and other rapidly renewable materials like pandanus, mendong, lava stone, water hyacinth, hemp and banana bark have been expertly crafted into an array of home accessory items. The current collection of products includes planters, place settings, table runners, hand bags, sculptural art, bird cages and baskets. We are now one of the largest producers of Indonesian home accessories in the country, meeting the demand of retailers around the world. 

But it wasn’t only a commitment to quality and design that established this successful trajectory. The vision of co-owner, Tommy Sutarso, is guided by a personal goal to achieve sustainable production practices.   As a native of Yogyakarta, Tommy recognized the importance of establishing a local business that employed local village workers with a fair wage while making creative use of his locally abundant raw materials.

Setia’s product offering is dependent on the unique tropical setting of Indonesia.  Relying on rapidly renewable fibers and low impact production techniques, we have championed the cause of sustainability.  Nothing represents this better than the bamboo storage baskets that are manufactured without the need for adhesives.  This innovative design allows tomorrow’s consumer to return the basket to the natural environment from which it came.
