Services · Hotel FF&E
Furniture for Boutique Hotels
Full FF&E produced in the Bali workshop and shipped by container. Bedroom sets, outdoor furniture, restaurant fit-outs, one project from brief to door-to-door delivery.
The hotel furniture challenge
What European suppliers can't solve at boutique scale.
Boutique hotels face a specific sourcing problem. They need the material quality and design coherence of a high-end furniture supplier, but not the minimum order volumes or pricing structures built for large-format hospitality chains. European joinery workshops rarely take hotel projects under 200 pieces. Contract furniture manufacturers offer catalogue products with limited customisation.
The workshop in Kerobokan was built around exactly this scale. A single boutique hotel is a full production run for the workshop team, significant enough to justify every stage of the process, small enough to maintain direct oversight at each one. The economics of Bali production mean that full bespoke manufacture at this scale competes with European catalogue pricing.
The operational model is straightforward: one point of contact from brief to delivery, every piece quality checked and documented by the workshop at each stage of production, sea freight handled by the workshop and its freight forwarder. No forwarder chasing on your side. No supplier chasing. One container arrives. It contains everything.
What the workshop produces
Bedroom furniture
Bed frames, bedside tables, desks, wardrobes, luggage racks, lounge chairs. All produced to the same specification across every room; the workshop documents tolerances and finish references to ensure consistency in piece 60 as in room 1.
Outdoor & pool terrace
Sun loungers, terrace chairs, outdoor dining tables and side tables. Material specification driven by your climate: UV-coated rattan, A-grade plantation teak with natural oil, marine-grade hardware for island and coastal properties.
Restaurant & bar
Dining chairs, tables, bar stools, banquette frames. Commercial-grade construction. The joinery team builds restaurant furniture to a different structural specification than bedroom pieces, accounting for the mechanical stress of daily hospitality use.
Stone & architectural elements
Volcanic stone (Paras) bathroom basins, shower platforms, feature wall panels. Stone pieces are individually crated, photographed and mapped to installation drawings by the workshop. Structural load assessments are confirmed with the workshop before production.
Custom millwork
Reception desks, bar counters, built-in wardrobe frames, headboard walls. Designed in collaboration with your interior architect, produced in the joinery atelier. Site measurements taken remotely from architect drawings and photographs.
Sustainability documentation
FSC chain-of-custody certificates, SVLK (Indonesian timber legality) declarations, zero-harvest reclaimed timber records, material composition sheets. Full dossier assembled by the workshop and supplied with the shipment.

Why Bali sourcing works for hotels
Bali's furniture industry developed around hospitality. The island has hosted boutique hotel development for thirty years, and the craft infrastructure, teak joinery, rattan weaving, stone carving, upholstery, grew alongside it. The result is a concentration of skill that has no equivalent in European furniture manufacturing at this price point.
The workshop in Kerobokan specialises in hospitality-grade production: the structural requirements of commercial furniture, the documentation requirements of international certification bodies, and the logistical requirements of container shipping to ports worldwide.
The cost advantage over European manufacture is real but not the primary argument. The primary argument is that you can commission fully bespoke furniture, designed for your specific property, built from materials with verified provenance, at a price point that European suppliers cannot reach for custom work at boutique volumes.

Hotel project questions
What's the minimum order for a hotel project?
Projects start at €25,000, typically one 20ft container. Smaller properties are welcome; the economics of container shipping simply work better at a certain volume. Ubud Atelier gives an honest assessment during the initial call.
Can the workshop match an existing furniture specification?
Yes. If you have existing pieces from another supplier and need to add rooms or replace worn stock, send Ubud Atelier photographs and dimensions. The workshop can reverse-engineer the construction and produce matching pieces. Any material substitution is flagged clearly before production.
How does the workshop keep FF&E consistent across a large order?
Every piece in a hotel order is built by the workshop against a documented specification: timber grade, finish reference, tolerances, hardware. The workshop photographs each piece against a reference board before packing. Dimensional QC is logged per production batch. Consistency is not a promise, it is a process.
What documentation is available for eco-certified properties?
The workshop can provide FSC chain-of-custody certificates for certified timber, zero-harvest declarations for reclaimed teak, SVLK (Indonesian timber legality) documentation, and material composition sheets for upholstery.
How far in advance should a hotel project be commissioned?
For a full FF&E fit-out, allow the workshop's typical 12 to 20 weeks door-to-door depending on destination. This accounts for 8 to 10 weeks of workshop production, plus shipping that varies by destination. Projects commissioned with less lead time are sometimes possible; Ubud Atelier checks with the workshop and is direct about what is achievable.
Does the workshop produce outdoor hotel furniture?
Yes. Pool terrace furniture, sun loungers, outdoor dining sets and terrace chairs are a significant part of the workshop's hotel output. Materials are specified with the workshop for your climate: UV-coated rattan for direct sun, A-grade plantation teak for exposed outdoor conditions, marine-grade finishes for coastal and island properties.

What the workshop makes
Specification sheets by category.
A hotel order normally crosses several of these categories in one container. Each sheet gives the typical ranges, the hardware specification and what the workshop needs in order to quote.
