Timber Craftsmanship
Since 1981
Kok Art & Craft Co. is a family-owned and operated company that has been pursuing the fine art of timber craftsmanship without interruption since 1981. We were founded on, and continue to run, on the belief of quality over quantity.
For the past 40 years, the process has been the same — begin with culture, design for art, craft for heritage. This approach extends beyond bespoke furniture into built-in cabinetry, furniture restoration, refurbishments, and reupholstery — each treated with the same care, precision, and respect for legacy.
40 Years of Culture, Art & Heritage.

The Timbers We Use
We specialise in total handcrafting of timber (Nyatoh and Merbau wood), and practice the centuries-old tradition of Chinese interlocking joinery.
The intention of every product we craft, is for them to live indefinitely as heritage pieces. We take pride in creating pieces that embody culture and identity so that they may pass down from one generation to the next. This has been our quiet philosophy from the start.
