Something Beautiful Is Coming to West Bali

Something Beautiful Is Coming to West Bali - A New Tent Villa at Menjangan Dynasty Resort

There’s something truly magical about West Bali — the stillness of the forest, the calm waters of Banyuwedang Bay, and the feeling of being completely connected to nature. That’s why we’re so excited to share a little behind-the-scenes look at our latest collaboration with the wonderful team at Menjangan Dynasty Resort: a brand-new luxury tented villa, set to be completed and ready for setup by the end of June 2025.

At Sourcing Bali, we’ve worked with Menjangan Dynasty from 2016, and every project with them feels special. But this one? It’s something we’re particularly proud of.

Designed to Blend In - and Stand Out

This new tent villa is designed to offer the same unforgettable experience that Menjangan Dynasty is known for: understated luxury, surrounded by nature. Think open spaces, calming colours, and beautiful handcrafted furniture that tells a story.

We’re currently working closely with our trusted artisans to produce custom-made pieces that feel right at home in the natural setting. From solid teakwood furniture to soft, earthy textiles and woven details — everything is being thoughtfully crafted to complement the tent’s design and the serene environment around it.

Supporting Craftsmanship with Purpose

This isn’t just about making something beautiful — it’s also about how we make it. As always, we’re collaborating with local craftspeople from across Bali and Java. Every piece we deliver helps support these communities, keeping traditional skills alive and providing meaningful work along the way.

We believe that when you bring something into a space — especially one as special as this — it should carry more than just aesthetic value. It should carry heart, history, and purpose.

Countdown to June

The new tent villa is well on its way, and we’re counting down the days to installation. By the end of June, it will be ready to welcome guests seeking something different — a chance to unwind in comfort while surrounded by the untouched beauty of West Bali.

We can’t wait to see it all come together, and we’re proud to be part of creating another memorable piece of the Menjangan Dynasty experience.

Sourcing Bali & Home and Soul Dubai

Sourcing Bali & Home and Soul Dubai — Crafting Meaningful Spaces Together

At Sourcing Bali, we’ve always believed that every piece of furniture and décor tells a story — a story of tradition, passion, and the hands that carefully crafted it. For many years now, we’ve had the incredible privilege of partnering with Home and Soul Dubai to bring the finest Indonesian craftsmanship to homes across Dubai and beyond.

This isn’t just business for us. It’s a shared journey, built on trust, creativity, and a deep respect for heritage.

Bridging Cultures with Craftsmanship

Our journey started with a simple idea: to connect the talented artisans of Bali’s remote villages with people who truly appreciate authentic, handcrafted beauty. Over time, this vision blossomed into a strong collaboration with Home and Soul Dubai — a brand that shares our passion for soulful, meaningful interiors.

Together, we curate collections that go beyond mere aesthetics. Each piece is carefully selected — carved, woven, or painted by artisans whose skills have been passed down through generations. When we choose a piece, we look for quality, soul, and a story that deserves to be shared.

Celebrating the Artisans Behind Every Creation

What inspires us every day are the artisans themselves — the heart and hands behind every product. Many come from families where craft is a way of life, passed down through generations. We see ourselves as their storytellers, helping their work reach people who value meaning as much as beauty.

When Home and Soul Dubai brings these pieces to customers, it’s more than décor — it’s culture, heritage, and warmth, all woven into one.

Meet Our Team: The People Who Make It Happen

Behind the scenes at Sourcing Bali is a passionate team dedicated to design, culture, and sustainability. Our sourcing specialists travel far and wide through Bali’s villages, connecting with artisans and handpicking pieces that fit our vision.

We work closely with Home and Soul Dubai, tailoring collections to each client’s unique style and needs. This personal approach means every piece you find with us is truly one-of-a-kind.

Our Sourcing Process: Care and Integrity at Every Step

For us, sourcing isn’t just about finding beautiful things. It’s about responsibility. We invest time building genuine relationships with artisans, ensuring fair practices and sustainability.

From selecting raw materials to final quality checks, we stay involved every step of the way. That way, when a piece arrives in your home, it carries the authenticity and craftsmanship we stand by.

Let’s Connect

We love meeting people who share our passion for meaningful design. Whether you’re a designer, retailer, hotelier, or simply looking for that perfect handcrafted piece, we’re here to help.

Sourcing Bali’s Custom Lighting for Royal Davui Fiji

At Sourcing Bali, we see design as more than just decoration — it’s about telling a story, capturing a feeling, and creating moments that stay with you long after the lights go down. One of our favourite stories started a few years ago with the stunning Royal Davui Island Resort in Fiji. We crafted a collection of custom lighting that still brings warmth and magic to the island’s beautiful spaces.

Bringing a Vision to Life

Our Creative Director, Desmond James, led this project with a clear mission: design lighting that blends seamlessly with Royal Davui’s natural beauty and elegant vibe. Inspired by the island’s soft sands, ocean waves, and lush greenery, Desmond imagined pieces that feel both refined and rooted in nature.

From delicate handwoven rattan pendants to sculptural fixtures, every light was carefully created to enhance the calm, luxurious atmosphere of the resort.

“Designing for Royal Davui gave us the chance to be playful yet thoughtful—to tell a story through light,” says Desmond. “It’s incredibly rewarding to see our work still glowing beautifully on the island.”

Handcrafted with Heart and Soul

Like all our custom work, these lights were brought to life by talented Balinese artisans using sustainable, ethically sourced materials. Every curve, weave, and finish were made with care — honouring centuries-old traditions while ensuring each piece would stand the test of time.

More than just fixtures, these lights celebrate the artistry and connections behind every project.

Lighting That Transforms Spaces

Today, these custom creations remain a beloved feature of Royal Davui. 

Even though the project wrapped up years ago, it still shines as a perfect example of what happens when design, craftsmanship, and passion come together.

A Partnership That Lasts

This collaboration perfectly reflects what we do at Sourcing Bali — working closely with visionary clients worldwide to create bespoke designs that feel authentic and meaningful. We’re proud to have contributed to Royal Davui’s story and look forward to crafting more timeless pieces for inspiring places everywhere.

An Inside Story from Sourcing Bali: Crafting Elegance at Gili Eco Villas

There’s something truly special about seeing a vision come to life. Recently, Desmond James, Ririn, Wayan Sanjaya, and Komang visited Gili Eco Villas on beautiful Gili Trawangan to witness the final installation of their new room and bar—and it was one of those deeply rewarding moments.

Stepping into the finished space and seeing everything come together just as planned was a proud and satisfying experience. The handcrafted details, sustainable touches, and relaxed atmosphere reflected exactly what we had envisioned.

This project was a joy to work on. We partnered closely with local artisans to craft bespoke pieces that echo the island’s laid-back charm while supporting Gili Eco Villas’ ongoing commitment to sustainability. From the inviting seating to the statement bar, every element was chosen with intention to complement the villa’s natural aesthetic.

We’re incredibly proud of the result and honoured to have contributed to such a thoughtful transformation. Bringing a touch of Bali’s artisanal soul to this island gem is exactly why we do what we do.

If you're planning a refresh—whether it’s a hotel, villa, or private home—we’d love to support your journey. Reach out to us at sales@sourcing-bali.com or via WhatsApp at 0811-3907

The Magic Behind Sourcing Bali's Success

At Sourcing Bali, everything we do is filled with creativity, care, and love — and a big part of that comes from one very special person: Desmond James.

For over 20 years, Desmond has been leading our journey. With his background in hospitality and his natural creative spirit, he helped shape Sourcing Bali into what it is today. From the very beginning, Desmond believed that design isn’t just about how something looks — it’s about how it makes you feel. It’s about creating something real, meaningful, and lasting.

Desmond has always had a deep respect for the craft and the people behind it. He spent years building strong relationships with local artisans, learning their skills, and listening to their stories. He brought together the best of Bali’s rich traditions with fresh, new ideas — making sure that every project we deliver feels special and true.

Today, as our Creative Director, Desmond continues to inspire us every single day. His passion, his kindness, and his incredible eye for detail guide everything we do. Whether he’s designing a custom furniture piece, working closely with a client, or simply sharing new ideas with our team, Desmond leads with heart.

At Sourcing Bali, we know that Desmond’s magic is what makes us different. His energy and love for what he does shine through in every project we take on. He reminds us that true creativity comes from caring deeply — about the work, about the people, and about the stories we help tell.

Here's to him — for all the heart, the creativity, and the passion he shares with us every day. And here’s to many more beautiful stories still to come.

The Artisans Behind Sourcing Bali

At the heart of Sourcing Bali is a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, culture, and community. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of working with incredibly talented artisans across Bali and other parts of Indonesia—each one bringing their own stories, skills, and soul into every piece they create.

These artisans are more than just makers—they are keepers of tradition. Many have inherited their craft through generations, using age-old techniques that have been passed down from parent to child. From intricate wood carvings and handwoven textiles to natural stonework and sustainable furniture, their creations are a true reflection of Indonesia’s rich artistic heritage.

One of the most rewarding parts of our work is the relationships we've built with these artisans. We don't just collaborate—we grow together. By understanding their processes and respecting their pace, we ensure fair partnerships that allow creativity to flourish. Quality control visits, material sourcing trips, and shared conversations over coffee are all part of our process—because behind every beautiful product is a person with passion.

Our recent project in Banyuwangi, East Java, for example, took us on a journey to meet one of our long-time artisan partners. With the whole team on board for quality control, it was more than just checking pieces—it was about connecting, learning, and ensuring every detail was just right.

At Sourcing Bali, we are proud to champion handcrafted goods, slow design, and ethical sourcing. Every item we deliver carries not only a story but a soul. And it’s our mission to continue shining a light on the artisans who make it all possible.

Here’s to the makers. The dreamers. The hands behind the beauty.
