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 work 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.

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 pass down the handcrafted traditions of those who have preceded us: The hands of our carpenters are our best tools and we express our craftsmanship through attention to detail. Jatra considers art as an important part of life. From the love and passion for wood comes the desire to realize sculptures, artwork and furniture that can highlight the beauty and the elegance of this wonderful material. Our products are real artistic installations, the meeting point between creativity and the artist /designer’s vision together with the craftsmanship and the skill of the company.

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.

Jatra considers wood as a balance material. In wood, we can find strength, but weakness, advantages but also limits, roughness as well as softness. Compared to synthetic material, we can feel that wood is a material with a soul. Wood is a kind of material that its beauty comes from its history. How it grows is an amazing process, it records the good and bad times. The beautiful texture and grain is a story of its life. Wood is a perfect material, perfect because of its imperfectness (Holes, cracks, animal markings etc. ) Its characteristics teach us about life, balance and limits. Instead of removing these imperfections here at Jatra we look at these imperfections as beauty and we incorporate them into our design making each piece of furniture unique.

The range of products and processes used to create Jatra’s furniture and art demonstrate some of the extraordinary possibilities of wood and challenge the boundaries of traditional interior design. Jatra’s design engages the user, heightens their sense of awareness and brings a deeper understanding to living surrounded by wood.

Functional Art, contemporary design and sustainability are the pillars that best describe Jatra Design’s work today. In the years to come, Jatra is going to strive on pushing the envelope in design and continue to create luxurious natural artwork and furniture with a soul.
