From the Suar log to the sculptural object

From the Suar log to the sculptural object

Every Maison Miraku piece begins long before it reaches the workshop: in the Indonesian forest, where the Suar tree grows – a dense wood renowned for its spectacular growth rings and warm colour.

The log, harvested responsibly, is then dried slowly — an essential step that can take several months. It is this long, patient process that ensures the stability of the finished piece and the beauty of its grain.

The craftsman’s hand

No machine can replace the eye and the hand. Each stool is carved from a single block of wood, then gradually sanded down until the wood’s natural softness is revealed. The natural oil finishes nourish the wood and protect the surface.

“Wood retains the memory of its growth. Our role is simply to reveal it.”

That is why no two pieces are ever quite the same. A grain, a knot, a curve: these are all distinctive features that make each object a unique piece, designed to last and stand the test of time.

From the selection of the log to the final coat of oil, each piece undergoes dozens of steps. This slow and deliberate process lies at the heart of Maison Miraku — a different approach to furniture.
