At Rico & Plato we talk wood – because wood is our passion and our life, and we are deeply immersed in it. We are based in the heart of Teak country in Central Java, and we have access to the best sources of materials, and to the most skilled and highly trained craftsmen. Our Table Art is our favourite collection because the products are deeply rooted in the natural forms of the wood from which they are derived. We simply coax them out from within.
We have many other items made from Teak and other timbers which we are equally proud of, because we spend the time necessary to perfect the designs and the quality before we present them to you.
The impetus of our brand is Angie Hanny / Van Belle, a native daughter of Jepara who’s own personal passion for Teak, and local skilled craftspeople drives us to find the best and be the best. Her years in the furniture business in its many facets has honed her ability to choose the most popular and marketable designs, and present them in the wonderful fashion you see displayed here.

ECO FRIENDLY PACKAGING.
Marin debris is the rubbish of our everyday lives that makes its way into our ocean. Rubbish travels over land, down streams, rivers and storm drains to the oceans. Once in the ocean, it can drift thousands of miles from its origin to the most remote ocean places, leaving a wake of destruction in its path. Every year, debris kills thousands of marine animals and sea birds, chokes coral reffs and smothers critical environtments. It also contaminates our beaches and favorite recreation sites. Better information about sources and impact is extremely important to drive changes in infrastructure and waste management policies at all levels. Who is responsible? All of us. Together we can help prevent and clear up this mess for a clean, healthy ocean planet.
Eco-friendly packaging is easily recycled, and is safe for individuals and the environment. It makes use of renewable energy, and uses as much renewable or recycled materials as possible. It is also known as green packaging, or sustainable packaging. Eco packaging causes less damage to the environment than other types of packaging due to falling in to one of 3 possible categories:
• It can be reused
• It can be recycled
• It’s biodegradable
Some eco packaging items can be used again in their original form, others are made of materials that can be recycled and made into something else and others simply decompose in an environmentally friendly way.
Looking out for the future of our environment is the primary reason Rico & Plato use environmentally friendly packaging. We should all be aware of the impact of our actions on the environment around us, and take some responsibility for those actions.
