About Global Surroundings:
| Global Surroundings LLC is a manufacturer and
importer of antique and handcrafted teak furniture and accessories. JL and Jay Jackson
founded Global Surroundings LLC after living and traveling several years throughout
South East Asia. Our main facility is located in Java, Indonesia and our U.S. Headquarters
is in Phoenix, Arizona. Our craftsmen are all natives of the region. Our goal is to provide our retail clients with heirloom furniture without harm to the region's ecology, or the people and their traditions. We offer distinctive off-the-floor pieces and custom designs built exactly to your specifications. In addition, we are a source for artifacts and unique antique pieces from all over Indonesia that include ceramic pots, wicker and rattan baskets and other interesting pieces. Many of these eclectic antiques offer surprising functionality in today's homes and offices. If we don't have or can't locate that special piece for which you've been looking, one of our craftsmen will build it for you. A Win Win Situation! |

Their families trade in a wood house and get a new brick home, once only a dream. We buy and dismantle their house, re-using every part to create our furniture. Your customers get new, unique, premium wood furniture, without damage to the rain forest or the children's homeland. | ||||
|
Once we purchase and dismantle the homes, we use every part of the house to build our furniture. Here is a stock pile of teak to be used "as-is" in its rustic form, or planed down for a smoother finish. Using teak wood, we can build any style of furniture for your design client or your retail customer. All of our furniture is handcrafted and finished with hand-rubbed stain. | ||||

These girls
are standing in front of the old part of their home. We eventually purchase
the old teak wood to use in producing our furniture.
We give them money so they can add onto their home with brick like the photo to the left.
