Cempaka was founded in 2006 by husband-and-wife team David and Lesley Campbell, driven by a shared passion for design, quality, and craftsmanship. With David’s extensive background in the hotel industry across Europe and Asia, and Lesley’s expertise in marketing and interior design, Cempaka was built to be more than just a furniture manufacturer—it’s a creative partner for timeless interiors.
Having lived and worked in diverse locations such as Japan, Africa, Singapore, the USA, and London, David and Lesley bring a global perspective to every project. These international experiences continue to inspire the furniture we create, blending cross-cultural influences with refined aesthetics.
Based in Indonesia and export to the world, we work closely with skilled local artisans to produce elegant, durable furniture that merges modern design with artisanal craftsmanship techniques. Our mission is to support interior designers, developers, and operators in realizing their vision—whether it’s a beachfront resort in the Maldives, a city hotel in Tokyo, or a luxury home in London.
We’re inspired daily by the natural beauty of our surroundings and the craftsmanship of our team. Every piece we produce reflects our commitment to exceptional service, international quality standards, and attention to detail. At Cempaka, we don’t just build furniture—we help shape beautiful, lasting spaces.
