Origin and sourcing in India & Indonesia
All vintage furniture in our collection originates from various regions in India and Indonesia. Our buyers travel to India and Indonesia several times a year to personally select antique cabinets, sideboards, chests of drawers, shelving units, doors, and decorative objects.
Purchasing takes place at local vintage markets, with trusted dealers, and in old storage facilities. By sourcing directly at the origin, we are able to offer pieces that are not available through regular wholesalers.
Because we carefully select each item ourselves, it is entirely possible to search for something specific for your project. We are happy to think along with you. This way, your vision comes to life and you can truly deliver something unique.
The biggest selection of vintage furniture from Amsterdam
Unique cabinets
The vintage cabinets from India by Raw Materials are unique, characterful pieces that perfectly complement professional interior projects. The collection includes display cabinets, chests of drawers, sideboards, and storage cabinets in a variety of sizes, colors, and finishes. Each cabinet is handmade and one of a kind, making these pieces highly sought after by architects, interior designers, and retailers looking for authentic vintage furniture for shops, hospitality venues, or commercial interiors. Thanks to their versatility, the cabinets can easily be incorporated into modern, industrial, or classic interior concepts.
These sustainable vintage cabinets are a conscious choice for project furnishing and circular interior design. The furniture is reused and given a second life, making it especially suitable for project managers and designers who value sustainability and quality.
Unique tables
The vintage tables from Raw Materials are also unique pieces with a story. These tables mainly originate from India and are carefully hand-selected for their appearance, quality, and individuality. The collection includes coffee tables, old wooden dining tables, side tables, and robust workbenches. These workbenches are ideal as retail displays, presentation tables, or functional kitchen islands. Thanks to the wide variety of shapes, materials, and finishes, the tables are suitable for diverse interior styles and professional projects.
Raw Materials tables are widely used in shops, hotels, restaurants, beach clubs, and cafés. An important category within the collection is the folding tables and authentic market tables. Originally used during festivities and weddings in India, these tables are now perfectly suited for hospitality and event projects.
Vintage chairs & benches
The collection includes old wooden chairs, iron folding chairs, and colorful Javanese chairs in a wide variety of styles and finishes. Our buyers source unique batches of chairs locally—often pieces that are being replaced but still retain strong character and quality. After careful restoration and any necessary repairs, these vintage chairs are ready for a new life—perhaps in your next project.
In addition to chairs, Raw Materials also offers a constantly changing selection of vintage stools and benches. Think of robust wooden benches from former railway stations in India or authentic stools that served for many years in warungs (local eateries) in Indonesia.
Old doors
The selection of antique doors from Raw Materials consists of unique vintage eye-catchers with a rich history. These authentic doors originate from old temples, homes, and historic buildings in India. Many of these buildings are making way for modern architecture. Raw Materials acquires the original doors in order to preserve this craftsmanship, giving these remarkable pieces a second life.
Our collection includes colorful doors, solid wooden doors, richly carved examples, impressive gates, and doors with glass panels. Sizes range from smaller formats to monumental masterpieces up to four meters high. These vintage doors are widely used in interior projects, hotels, bed & breakfasts, wedding venues, and hospitality concepts seeking a striking statement piece. For interior professionals, architects, designers, and project managers: if you are looking for something special or custom-made with character, a visit to Raw Materials or a targeted inquiry is always worthwhile.
Objects & statues
These unique art objects from India and Indonesia are carefully selected and serve as true statement pieces within professional interior projects. The collection includes a wide range of decorative objects, such as authentic Nandi statues, sacred cows from India, and distinctive tribal artworks like antique wooden masks. Years of intensive use have given these objects a beautiful patina, making them especially valued by interior professionals.
The buyers at Raw Materials are familiar with the origin and history of each item and are happy to share its story with you. If you are looking for unique vintage decoration, art objects, or striking statement pieces for a professional interior concept, the collection and expertise of Raw Materials always offer a suitable and inspiring solution.
Dealer portal for interior professionals
Raw Materials offers a dealer portal for interior professionals. This online platform features a large part of our unique antique furniture and accessories. With a personal login, clients gain access to an up-to-date selection of the collection.
The dealer portal supports the workflow of interior stylists, project designers, buyers, and designers. The platform makes it possible to search efficiently, compile selections, and prepare projects. A login for the dealer portal can be requested through Raw Materials.
Weekly arrivals for interior projects
Raw Materials receives new containers with furniture, lighting, and accessories almost every week. This ensures a large inventory, which is particularly suitable for ongoing and large-scale interior projects. As many items as possible are uploaded to our B2B portal, although processing takes time — for the most extensive selection, we recommend visiting our warehouse.
Our furniture is widely used in restaurants, hotels, and cafés where atmosphere and identity are essential. Antique pieces also create a distinctive and professional look in retail and office interiors.
Upon arrival in Amsterdam, all furniture is carefully inspected and prepared for use. The original appearance is preserved. Layers of paint, signs of wear, and a natural patina remain visible, giving each piece its own character. This timeworn finish makes the furniture especially suitable for interior professionals who enjoy working with unique materials, texture, and depth.
Sustainable and timeless
Antique furniture from India is a sustainable choice for interior projects. Each piece is given a second life and carries its own history. Raw Materials is committed to passing these unique items on to new interiors, where they can once again be used and appreciated for many years. An interior becomes truly distinctive with pieces that tell their own story.
