In small workshops on the island of Bali, former fishing boats are painstakingly converted by hand to produce eye-catchers for your home and garden. Following an elaborate cleaning process, all the usable parts of the old handmade boats are utilised. They are turned into tables, benches, chairs, bookshelves and accessories – colourful and individual, complete with secret compartments and drawers. If they are to be used outdoors, we recommend treating the surfaces with oil for extra durability, so as to preserve the colours and protect the material, as well as ensuring that water can drain away instead of collecting. Since each of these items is one of a kind, slight variations in dimensions and colour are to be expected.
Recycling is nothing new: materials that have already been used and no longer serve any real purpose are transformed into something new that catches the eye or offers an ingenious benefit. Most of us have probably recycled things in some form or other before. So why not try a special form of up-cycling in your garden? With Ploß® and the former boat timber, you will be bringing some rustic charm into your own leafy refuge.
Over the years, boats made from Balinese hardwood acquire more and more charm along with a sense of adventure.
