We design everything we make. We also make everything we design.
Arsene is a brand founded by CVP, a seasoned furniture manufacturer based in Indonesia.
As a result of this tight integration, the whole process – from ideation, design, prototyping, manufacturing, and finishing – stays under one roof, until it gets to be under yours.
The fact that we will have better control of quality is a given. More importantly for us, this reduces the amount of times the goods have to exchange hands.
Why does this matter? Well for one, every time it does, it adds unnecessary costs to the production of the goods. Not exactly what you want when your goal is to provide good design to more people.
Crafted without compromise
We follow a high tech, high touch philosophy – marrying progressive machinery and hand crafted elements.
We employ traditional craftsmen from Indonesia, where the art of furniture making has been passed along many generations.
Decades of experience combined with modern production technology will ensure your furniture is well made, and will last you many years to come.
Everything under one roof… or five.
After decades of experience, we understand a thing or two about the importance of material selection and processing. After all, they make the backbone (and the majority of the cost!) of all the products that we design.
In the early founding days of the company, it was decided that most of the raw materials will be processed in house. To say that we have everything under one roof is one thing… but that would technically be untrue.
In order to maximise efficiency, we operate multiple facilities, each one solely dedicated to processing each type of raw material – be it wood, steel, rattan, PE wicker, and even paper cord.
All sites operate independently, but cohesively in unison to achieve our ultimate goal – to create great products.

On working together…
We believe great products stem from a working relationship between designers and craftsmen. One cannot possibly coexist without the other.
We present to you a collection made from wood, wicker, steel, papercord, among many others – from the hearts at Arsene, and the brains at CVP.
Who knows what the future will bring?
