Paul P.
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Project Definition & Client Alignment
Paul leads all client-side project definition and strategic alignment. His responsibility is to ensure that design intent is fully understood before production begins.
He works upstream, clarifying constraints, tolerances, timelines, and risks, so that execution is not left to interpretation.
- Background in Production Management with executive-level manufacturing experience in both Indonesia and North America
- Personally oversees project scoping, approvals, and client communication to prevent misalignment before it reaches the factory floor
- Fluent in English, French, Romanian, and Indonesian, enabling direct communication without intermediaries
Ioan Cristian P.
Co-Owner & Chief Operating Officer
Execution, Cost & Schedule Control
Cristian is responsible for execution accuracy inside the factory, end-to-end. He controls how approved specifications are translated into real production, on time and within agreed cost parameters.
His authority spans materials, construction methods, joinery, finishes, sequencing, quality checkpoints, cost discipline, and production scheduling.
- Over a decade of continuous, on-the-ground manufacturing leadership in Indonesia
- Deep technical command of local materials, joinery standards, labor realities, and production constraints
- Daily presence on the workshop floor to identify deviations early and correct them immediately
Cristian’s mandate is uncompromising: what is approved is what gets built, at the agreed cost and within the agreed schedule.
Final production approval and release remain under his authority.
Jepara Works With Control
Jepara Capability: Structured Craft
Jepara is internationally recognized for its hand-carved woodwork. It is also one of the world’s highest-density regions for skilled woodcraft, particularly in teak, mahogany, complex joinery, and architectural carving. This concentration of capability enables work that would be difficult or cost-prohibitive elsewhere.
On its own, craft is not sufficient without structure, documentation, and control. Our advantage lies in translating Jepara’s artisanal depth into repeatable, controlled execution through engineered processes and owner-led verification.
Carving and Architectural Detail: Controlled Heritage
This capability is essential when projects require:
- Hand-carved components integrated into structural systems
- Consistency across repeated carved elements
- Compliance with dimensional tolerances and installation constraints
Traditional carving without process control introduces variation.
We convert artisanal carving into reliable execution by:
- Defining carving depth, profiles, and motifs through drawings and reference samples
- Producing approval samples prior to series execution
- Sequencing carving after moisture stabilization and machining
- Inspecting carved components against approved benchmarks before finishing
The result is work that retains Jepara’s character while meeting modern project requirements for precision, consistency, and installation readiness.
The Collective Difference: Operating Principles
These principles are not aspirational. They govern every project we accept.
- Confidentiality & IP Protection
NDAs are standard. Client designs and intellectual property remain protected.
- Owner-Led Verification
Critical milestones require direct approval from Paul or Cristian. Final responsibility is not delegated downward.
- Specifications Before Production
Materials, joinery, finishes, tolerances, and sequencing are validated through drawings, samples, and prototypes before execution.
- Cost & Schedule Discipline
Production is managed against defined cost targets and timelines, with deviations addressed immediately.
- Engineered for Scale
We handle both bespoke prototypes and repeatable production runs, with a typical capacity of up to four containers per month under our quality standard.
- Responsible Sourcing
All wood is legally sourced under SVLK certification. Sustainability is treated as a baseline requirement, not a marketing claim.
