Carpentry that is built for the tropics

Bali is one of the most beautiful places in the world to live, and one of the toughest for furniture. Humidity sits between 70% and 90% for much of the year, salt air drifts in from the coast, and termites are a fact of life. Cheap cabinetry swells, doors stop closing, and hinges rust within a season.

Carpenter Bali builds furniture differently. We select the right material for each room, solid teak or merbau where it shows, marine-grade plywood where it needs to be stable, HPL or two-pack paint where it needs to be wipe-clean, and we treat, seal and ventilate every piece for life in Bali.

Choose the right timber

Every room in Bali asks for something different. Compare the materials we build with.
