our jatra

 
jatra-profile

Lirim Ibrahimi from Switzerland and Dina Istova from Indonesia founded Jatra Design in 2005, a concept design furniture studio and manufacturer. To showcase a wide range of extraordinary interior objects, luxury art furniture (Bespoke, Contemporary, Mid century furniture, Organic, Eco furniture), charismatic lighting and refined accessories. Jatra means journey, and our works will take you on a journey of beautifully blended and perfected Swiss detail, displaying expert craftsmanship, and Indonesian artisanship. At Jatra Design, we integrate various species of wood into our designs to produce truly unique pieces of furniture and art.
 
Every tree tells a story, and every product of Jatra sums up its essence. Our trees have a life span of anywhere between 50 to 300 years. When these trees die, they do so gradually from the crest to the roots. The owners of these trees have to remove them as they may cause damage to houses, other trees or outlying areas, and each time a tree is cut down to produce Jatra furniture or artwork, another tree is planted in its place so that the circle of life is not interrupted. Practicing reforestation means living in the present, but thinking about the future that we are creating.
Jatra creates completely natural products and we help nature to take shape. Our tabletops are made from massive tree trunks. Each table is unique, not industrially mass produced. We keep and hand down the craft traditions of those who have preceded us: the hands of our carpenters are our best tools and we express our craftsmanship trough the care of detail. Jatra considers art as an important part on our life. From the love and passion for wood comes the desire to realize sculptures and artwork that can highlight the beauty and the elegance of this wonderful material. They are real artistic installations, the meeting point between creativity and the artist/designer’s genius together with the craftsmanship and the skill of the company.
 
Today, Jatra has 3 showrooms located in Canada, Switzerland and Singapore, and has distributors worldwide.
