T-Lab

T-Lab makes original design hand-made wooden products from selected natural materials.  Their collection of Polepole wooden animals are designed and created in Japan, and hand-crafted in Indonesia.  Each Polepole animal is skillfully carved by hand out of an incredibly soft, light sustainable wood called albizia, grown on T-Lab's own farms in Indonesia.  The wood is then carefully sanded to create a super smooth surface and finally hand painted and finished in Japan with the sweetest expressions and patterns.  

Polepole is pronounced 'poh-leh poh-leh' and translates as 'slowly slowly' in Swahili, referring to the careful hand-carved process used to craft each animal.  Each animal is unique and has its own charm and character as it is completely hand-made.

From their hand to your hand, T-Lab will warm your heart with their adorable Polepole animals.
