Description
As always, our passion is to use recycled and natural materials wherever possible, for pieces that are naturally stylish and comfortable with that reassuring lived-in feel.
This year we have scoured the globe to extend our furniture range, bringing you some distinctly oriental elements plus a gorgeous upholstered collection.
Having listened to our customers, we have also developed a wealth of accessories including lighting and desktop items, textiles and basketry.
After living in Jakarta, our co-founder Alex was determined to bring the beauty of Asian furniture back to his home country for all to enjoy. He and his university friend Sarah researched over 100 manufacturers in Indonesia to launch their original collection of handmade, affordable solid-wood furniture. Since then, the company has grown organically. After the opening of our King’s Road showroom in 2000, we secured a 20,000 sq ft site in the Gasworks in Fulham for the head office and warehouse. Today we have several stores in London and are expanding confidently  nationwide. The growth continues, but we never lose sight of our original aims and values. However big the company grows, it will always retain the feel of a small, privately owned business. We look east for more exotic inspiration, insist on top-quality design, craftsmanship and materials, and make sure that almost all of our designs are exclusive to us. Rather than pigeon-hole you into a specific style, we offer the flexibility to mix and match individual products to beautiful effect. Our tranquil stores, styled to give a sense of how our furniture works in real homes, have a welcoming, one-off feel. Since we know how frustrating it is to wait months for something you’ve fallen in love with, we try our best to deliver within two to three weeks at a time that suits you. And- because we hire staff who are as creative, good-humoured and genuine as they are committed – our customer service, sales and delivery teams are second to none. Quite simply, we love and believe in what we do.
LOMBOK was delighted to be listed for the third year running in The Sunday Times Fast Track 100 at position 90 in December 2006. Fast Track 100 ranks Britain's hundred private companies with the fastest growing sales over the last three years.
We use natural, solid wood sourced with the environment in mind. Although no legal certification is currently required in the UK to show the source of wood products, we are constantly in touch with our manufacturers to ensure that the wood with which they work is ecologically sound.
Staff at our manufacturers in both Vietnam and Indonesia are all well looked after and earn above average wages for the industry, none of which employ children, and all comply to strict government guidelines. In addition there is an incredible sense of community within each factory with health cover, training and food being provided by the manufacturer – even factory football leagues!
