The Ibu Rack is a sized-down, modernised version of the traditional Peranakan kitchen cabinet, cheekily named after the Indonesian word for “mother”. While the original, ornate version of this cabinet was once used to hold crockery and even cooked food, the makers of the Ibu Rack have given it more clean-cut lines and compacted its essence to fit in modern homes. The two doors are grilled with slender cylindrical spokes identical to those in our popular Ruji Display Rack, partially concealing the Ibu's contents. A gentle tug on the twin brass knobs releases the smooth roller-clip cabinet catch mechanism and reveals five shelves of solid teak resting behind these doors. When you get any of our teak creations, you can rest in the knowledge that what you're bringing home isn't just any commonplace piece of furniture. The teak furniture on FortyTwo.sg comes from Java, Indonesia ,where adept Javanese craftsmen skillfully fashion it out of timber from the surrounding lush plantations.
