Our story
Moku history
MOKU began with a moment of recognition. Getting to know Balinese craft up close, the materials, the techniques, the objects themselves, revealed a side of Indonesian design that stopped us completely. Raw, present, deeply considered. Work that could hold its own in a modern interior not by blending in, but by standing apart from it. Giving a space exactly the character it was missing.
The ambition became simple: to bring that to Europe and beyond. To connect people who care about considered design with craft that has been extraordinary here for generations.
What has always drawn us to this work is the same thing that makes it last: the way tradition and the contemporary are not in opposition here, but in dialogue. The material carries the story. The form carries the restraint. The result is something timeless not because it ignores the present, but because it is rooted in something deeper than trend.
Sustainability
Honest by nature
We begin with the material. Not as a constraint, but as a starting point. The thing that determines everything that follows. Teak, mango wood or rattan: each carries a logic of its own, a natural rhythm that good craft respects rather than overrides. Where nature becomes form, the material leads.
We select with care and without compromise. The origin of a material, how it was harvested, how it will age. These are design decisions, not afterthoughts. An object that is honest about what it is made of will outlast anything built to conceal it.
Consciously crafted
Each piece is shaped with precision and purpose.
We create objects that connect material, craftsmanship, and space. Rooted in heritage and shaped for contemporary living, each piece is designed to bring depth, presence, and lasting value.
We believe in honest materials, thoughtful processes, and respect for the people behind each piece. We approach design with simplicity and intention. By focusing on form, function, and material, we create things that endure. That is not a positioning statement. It is the only way we know how to work.
Our Story
born in bali
MOKU was founded by Hanna Bobak and Dina Yacubova, two people who kept arriving at the same conviction: that the most considered objects are made where nature and craft have always been in conversation. Rooted in Indonesia, the brand connects traditional know-how with a contemporary design sensibility. We work close to the source and every piece reflects that: a dialogue between material, hand, and intention.
Hanna Bobak
Hanna came to MOKU by a long route. Running alongside her professional life, never quite in the foreground, was a deep fascination with craft and ideas that make life more beautiful. Behind it all was a conviction that art doesn't always need a museum. It belongs in the morning, becomes part of the rhythm of an afternoon. Belongs in the spaces people actually live in. That is how beauty enters everyday life. In the furniture you sit in, the objects you reach for, things made to be touched and used. MOKU is how she brings that here.
Dina Yacubova
The brand expanded into body care, introducing a collection of moisturizers and body oils made from ethically sourced, all-natural ingredients, further solidifying its reputation in the clean beauty industry.
our ground
Indonesia is not just our address. It is our material source, our craft network, our daily reference. We work directly with the makers and the land. Materials that define MOKU's work come from here. So does the knowledge of how to work them. That combination of place, material, and craft tradition is what makes our work possible. The archipelago's rich nature and heritage shape everything we make.
We make for people who notice the difference between fast and considered."
