Rattan Meets Leather: Balagi International x Leder Haus
At this year's IFEX, the conversation between tradition and modern utility found a new voice. Leder Haus is proud to have partnered with Balagi International, unveiling a collection where the rhythmic, organic weave of rattan meets the soul and structure of our premium leather. Each piece stands as a quiet dialogue between two crafts, one shaped by generations of hand-weaving expertise, the other refined through material innovation, coming together to reflect a new direction for Indonesian furniture on the world stage.
Our collaboration with Balagi was born from a shared ambition: to redefine the boundaries of Indonesian furniture. By integrating the tactile depth of our hides into hand-woven frames, we have moved beyond mere furniture-making. Together, we are crafting a sensory experience—one where every stitch and weave tells a story of quality.
"Leder Haus brings added value to our items. The best quality ever." — Ruslan Setiawan, Operational Director, Balagi International
The exhibition booth was curated as a "Living Gallery," inviting visitors to experience the striking contrast between the warmth of natural rattan and the sophisticated, enduring finish of our upholstery. For the modern designer, this fusion offers the best of both worlds: the raw authenticity of Indonesian heritage paired with the uncompromising durability of Leder Haus.
This collaboration is our tribute to the artisans who have shaped Indonesian craftsmanship for generations, refined for contemporary living and ready for the global stage. It is a reminder that heritage and innovation are not opposing forces, but partners in creating something enduring. As Balagi International and Leder Haus continue this journey together, we look forward to bringing more of these stories, of hands, materials, and meaning, into homes and spaces around the world.
