Our story

Nusa means island.

nu·sa (Indonesian) — island. You hear it all over the map: Nusa Dua, Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan.

I started NUSA HOME to bring a piece of my culture to the U.S.

In Bali, a lampshade is woven strand by strand, and a bowl is carved from a single block of teak, by people who learned the craft from the generation before them. It takes days, and it can't be rushed.

Every piece here is handcrafted, so no two are the same. A strand sits a little differently, the grain turns its own way. That's the mark of the hands that made it, and it's the part I love most.

How it's made

From cane to your table

Every rattan piece goes through the same four stages. None of them can be skipped or sped up.

1

Rotan

Harvest

Rattan is a climbing palm that grows wild in Indonesian forests. Only mature canes are cut, and the plant grows back.
2

Rendam

Split & soak

The cane is peeled and split into strands, then soaked in water until it is soft enough to bend without cracking.
3

Anyam

Weave

The weaver works each strand by hand over a wooden form, row by row, pulling it tight as it goes.
4

Jemur

Sun-dry

Finished pieces dry in the open air. The sun sets the shape and gives the rattan its warm, honey colour.

Material

Rattan

Light, strong and flexible. It darkens slowly with age and light, which most people come to love.

Dust with a soft, dry brush
Wipe spills with a barely damp cloth
Keep out of constant rain and direct heat

Material

Teak

A dense hardwood with natural oils that help it resist water. Each bowl and board shows its own grain.

Hand wash, then dry right away
No dishwasher, no soaking
Rub in food-safe oil when it looks dry
