Sassak is
named after the indiginous tribes people
of Lombok in Indonesia. We specialise in unusual
furniture and crafts from Indonesia,
Vietnam and India, spending many weeks of
the year in these countries sourcing new
lines.
We are a family based business and
have strong links with the countries from which
we buy. We are responsible for all of our own
buying and in doing so we can control who we
buy from. When we buy we like to go to the
workplace and see the conditions in which the
employees are working - if we are not happy
we simply do not do business. The majority
of our suppliers are also small family based
companies employing family members and,
sometimes, other local village people. By buying
in this way we ensure the fair price that
we pay is channelled to the people who need
it most, cutting out the middleman.
