It began with our founder’s passion and enthusiasm for beauty. He believes that beauty should not only be appreciated but also be enjoyed and perceived. For this reason, BIKA was established in 1975 as a company which manufactured custom wooden furniture. |
We travelled to boutique mills around the world to source the finest, yet unique and rare, wood to be used as the material in our premium products. Our product ranges from cabinetry, upholstered furniture, millwork, wardrobe and paneling. Subsequently, the company has grown into a group of companies comprising several subsidiary companies, each focusing on its own specialty. |
|
Group’s Contract Division - Bika also have Contract Division that is responsible for handling B to B project of hospitality, apartments and other commercial projects both in Indonesia and overseas. Works carried : custom-built furniture, kitchen system, wardrobe system, cabinetry, door and window system. |
Having different companies within our group makes Group Bika capable of providing a variety of products, designs, materials and finishing. |
|
Since its establishment, BIKA’s factory area has been expanded to more than 35,000 m², equipped with the state-of-the-art production and finishing equipment from Germany and Italy. |
BIKA’s craftsmen are masters of their trade, working finesse in wood like the finest artists. Their skills with inlay and marquetry, carving, veneering, and faultless finishing, produce fine furniture that are nothing short of being timeless works of art. |
|
BIKA aims to always meet client expectations while ensuring long-term sustainability of supply and helping to conserve limited or endangered wood species. For more than 20 years, BIKA has utilized only non-toxic materials and applied eco-friendly processes. |
the entire lifespan of the furniture, as is the case with boards made to lowerstandards and with the commonly used, but internationally banned, MELAMIK or acid-curing finishing process BIKA also uses UV curing, the strongest form of curing, to deliver high levels of scratch resistance with a very low use of solvent. Europe has banned the use of excessive solvent, as it is not environmentally friendly. |
|
By adhering to international standards, which are far more solid than those currently applied locally, BIKA not only produces furniture suitable for export but also provides customers in Indonesia all the benefits and environmental safeguards that can otherwise only be acquired through imported items. |
|
|
Throughout history, the furniture industry has relied heavily on wood and wood-based materials. Over the past 39 years, we have combed hundreds of forests all over the world, worked with various companies and suppliers, collecting only the finest raw materials to be used in our plants. This mutual trust has enabled us to access unique and rare woods not otherwise available, as the specialist mills know that these special materials will be cared for and used in the making of a premium product. |
The selection of materials is one of the most important aspects of our company. Hence, we search for the best materials, from solid timber, veneer, metal works, MFC, honeycomb panels, UPVC, and even our basic materials of plywood, glue, finishing materials, to the packaging. |
|
SOLID TIMBER
BIKA utilizes a wide range of solid timbers both locally sourced timber such as teak and mahogany solid wood as well as timber grown around the world.
|
VENEER
Veneer allows for a wider variety of species pattern making, as in marquetry and its ability to cover large area compared to solid timber. Veneered construction will produce exceptional and best-preserved furniture. Veneer is an ancient art, found in the Egyptian era– a wonderful testimony to its strength. BIKA uses veneers from all around the world for furniture requiring perfectly matched grain and intricate finishes.

Group’s CEO and Operations for BIKA Contract Division
|
BIKA lives in Jason’s mind as a home of youthfulness /freshness, nature, and discovery. A graduate of Babson College in Finance and Entrepreneurship, he started his career learning about wood. His first job was working with the Coastal Lumber in the USA as a lumber grader; working in the forests to identify lumbers for cutting and also at a sawmill grading lumbers to be shipped to the customers. Jason also had part of his career at the Coastal Lumber’s dimension plant, where raw materials were transformed into finished parts. |
Subsequently, a university course in furniture manufacturing in North Carolina and a subsequent job with the US company Century Furniture concluded his formative education before he returned to pursue his passion with the family firm, BIKA. Applying his knowledge and experience in manufacturing and engineering, Jason encouraged a major investment in machinery and efficiency in the company’s production system. |
| An ardent believer in BIKA’s vision “to create a unique quality product and provide a unique level of service,” Jason is closely involved with every facet of operations and finds a remarkable sense of fulfillment in the high-quality fine furniture for which BIKA is so admired. |
