Origin Teak was founded by Jason Nedelman in 2005. in San Clemente, California.   Originally Jason and his father Bart Nedelman began importing containers of recycled teak furniture from Salatiga, Java Indonesia in 2002.   Sold exclusively in his San Clemente based store “San Clemente Trader”, these recycled teak cabinets developed a following of contractor/designer/woodworkers who ofter purchased unique pieces to retrofit for their remodel projects.  

In 2005,  Jason began designing these custom teak pieces to the specifications of each client and Origin Teak Cabinet Company was born from the concept that custom furniture and cabinetry could be hand-made at the source or “origin” of the product, on-site in Java Indonesia.  

 Today Origin is committed to incorporating time-honored wood craftsmanship into its custom-designed teak creations. From concept to construction, the Origin Teak process focuses on the architectural details and fine points of our client’s residential and commercial construction needs. We work closely with home and business owners and industry professionals including architects, contractors and interior designers to create a distinctive look for any size interior or exterior.
