Since the inception of his company in New York in 2001, Jason Lamberth has been on a mission to acquire the finest rare and exotic hardwoods from Indonesia. His efforts have yielded an impressive range of materials, from 300-year-old buried teak logs to 30-foot-long teak flooring recovered from a 150-year-old Dutch Governor's home. Lamberth expertly incorporates these superior materials into his own collections and partners with architects and interior designers to bring their projects to fruition. His services include providing luxury materials, custom furnishings, and architectural elements, all while cultivating meaningful and long-lasting relationships with his clients.

He can source rare and obscure materials and provide custom designs and fabrication to create unique elements. He can also deliver specific finishes that meet each client's specifications and elevate the overall aesthetic of the project.

His expertise and 25 years of experience enable him to provide tailored solutions that fully meet the client's vision and requirements, ensuring that each project uniquely expresses itself.

Buried teak packed with mineral-rich sediment.

BURIED TEAK

  • Spice trade shipbuilders historically buried teak in the volcanic earth for up to 15 years to cure the wood before building their almost indestructible galleons. Logs found today have been seasoning for decades or longer, hardening the teak to a mineral density.

    2) Tung Oil is a sturdier, water-resistant finish suitable indoors or out, has a deeper color, and a more matte finish.

ROSEWOOD

  • Wood connoisseurs have long admired Rosewood for its beautiful grain and ability to take an excellent polish. While traditionally used as veneer for instruments and fine marquetry, a solid, book-matched rosewood dining table is a true luxury.

  • 1) Tung Oil works very well with ironwood, deepening the ebony color even further, and leaving an elegant gloss finish.

    2) Natural finish is sanded, followed by a light wax, leaving a smooth, matte finish.
