The Voice Of Wood

With Malaysian-made, handcrafted and eco-friendly furniture, Katta Kayu and its furniture are a cut above the average retailer.

The meaning of Katta Kayu is “the voice of wood,” and upon listening to founder Fazli Shah Bin Simpon’s story and intentions, you will quickly understand why this is a perfect name that eloquently summaries the ethos of this company. At Katta Kayu, the goal is to elevate recycled wood and make unique, handcrafted furniture out of it. The company’s collection of Malaysian-made “green furniture” which uses 90 per cent recycled wood is what sets it apart from other brands. For high quality and hand-finished pieces, the price range for Katta Kayu furniture is also very reasonable, as owner Fazli is dedicated to the mission of promoting the joy in using eco-friendly wood.

The process of sourcing, planing, sanding and readying recycled wood can be tedious, but Fazli and his wife, Ilmi Shukri Binti Khodori, have a deep-rooted passion for this brand and its mission that isn’t easily swayed. Fazli truly sees the endless potential of sustainable wood and believes that even pieces of wood that look as though it has no hope can be turned into something special. He works hard to bring recycled wood into another level, into a field of luxury and opulence. His entrepreneurship and innovative mindset has brought Katta Kayu the opportunity to work with French designer Radja Hanader, which resulted in a highly creative and impactful collection known as La Voix du Bois, which also means the voice of wood in French. Featuring used gas tanks in this series of side tables, the key values of Katta Kayu is retained in this collaboration.

Through the help of the Malaysia Timber Industry Board, Katta Kayu has been able to showcase its furniture collections at various exhibitions, propelling the mission of the company. This exposure allows Katta Kayu to reach potential customers who may be interested in the eco-friendly and handcrafted products Katta Kayu boasts.
