Tirto Furniture Information

Tirto Furniture truly is a family business. Owner, Chris Tirtoprodjo, has spent the last nine years managing David Smith & Company, five years as Inventory and Purchasing Manager, before being promoted to General Manager for his final four years with the company. Chris' love for furniture started young, as he grew up surrounded by his father, James Tirtoprodjo's, Indonesian antique collection. James began collecting antiques decades ago, before transitioning into furniture production with the creation of PCS furniture . PCS sells to customers in Europe and the Pacific Northwest. All of Tirto Furniture's pieces are designed by James, Chris and Chris' sister Patricia Tirtoprodjo, an Architect. Our family's goal is to remain true to our heritage by demonstrating loyalty in all areas of our work. We are inspired by the antiques in our family's private collection, featured in the book Antique Furniture and Folk Art, created by Indonesian craftspeople centuries ago. We seek to blend traditional and contemporary styles in the design of our furniture. Our workshop has employed many of our craftspeople since the day we moved out of the backyard of our family's house over 20 years ago, into our current workshop in Blitar, Java, Indonesia. Employees are paid above market hourly wages, provided health benefits, and in many situations our family will pay for employee's children to attend school (Indonesia does not offer free schooling). The same employees, who today carve dining tables in the workshop, walked Chris to school when he was a boy.
