Founded in 2015 in Jepara, Indonesia – the heart of Southeast Asia's furniture craftsmanship – Standard Collective is a family-run business led by Paul (CEO & Founder) and Cristian (COO & Co-Owner).
With decades of combined experience in the furniture industry, Paul recognized Jepara's unparalleled artistry, where woodworking skills are passed down through generations like a sacred tradition.
He chose Jepara not for its factories, but for its living heritage—where woodworking skills are passed down like sacred knowledge. Here, we built a collective, not an assembly line:
✔ Vertically integrated – Control from raw material to final finish
✔ Cultural bridge – Where hand-carving traditions meet ISO-inspired processes
✔ Craft custodians – Artisans treated as partners, not laborers
What began as a passion for authentic furniture has grown into trusted partnerships with designers and heritage restoration projects across 12 countries. Yet we remain rooted in Jepara, where every table, door, or window we craft tells a story of tradition meeting precision.

The Art of Jepara Woodcarving
Jepara, the heart of Indonesia’s woodcraft tradition, is more than just a city – it’s where blocks of teak and mahogany transform into timeless art. For generations, our artisans have perfected techniques passed down through families, blending intricate hand-carving skills with an intuitive understanding of wood’s natural beauty.
Here, woodworking is a language: the grain’s whisper guides each chisel stroke, and patience is measured in seasons of drying time rather than hours. This is where function becomes ceremony – where even a simple chair leg is shaped with the reverence of a temple pillar.
As the old saying goes: “Give a Jepara carver a piece of wood, and they’ll reveal its soul.” This philosophy lives in every piece we create – from ornate traditional motifs to contemporary designs refined through generations of knowledge.
Beyond the workshop, Jepara rewards the senses: salty breezes from its tranquil beaches, the rhythm of chisels shaping wood, and the vibrant culture that makes this corner of Central Java truly special. To work with Jepara’s artisans is to witness a rare alchemy – where heritage isn’t preserved behind glass, but breathed anew into every commissio
