The Karana Collection by Indonesian designer Hendro Hadinata and the American Hardwood Export Council blends Balinese philosophy with contemporary design, uniting cultural storytelling, sustainable hardwoods and Indonesian craft.

Drawing on the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which means harmony between people, nature and spirit, Hadinata has created three striking furniture pieces: the Kuta bench, Sanur lounge chair and Ubud light. Inspired by the sculptural works of Ida Bagus Nyana in the 1930s, the collection blends elongated, flowing forms with contemporary function, offering design that is both culturally rooted and globally resonant.

What makes this collaboration unique is Hadinata’s fresh engagement with American hardwoods. Though an established voice in Indonesian design, this is his first major exploration of working in American hardwood timber with a collection created from American red oak and cherry. Known for their strength, sustainability and expressive character, these hardwoods have allowed Hadinata to push form and proportion while honouring his cultural inspirations.
