Suar Wood: A Symphony for Style and Warmth

The wood harvested from rain trees is commonly known as Suar wood, though it also goes by many names including rain tree wood and Acacia.

Suar wood is renowned for its golden-brown tones and intricate grain patterns, offering beauty and versatility for both modern and classic interiors. The properties of Suar wood make it an excellent material for furniture making.

OMBAI’s Suar wood comes from the lush woods of the islands of Borneo, Java, and Sulawesi in Indonesia.
