"Connections" is a new documentary series celebrating the skill and craftsmanship of fair trade artisans globally. Artists are shown working in their own environments, providing viewers with an in-depth understanding of the varied techniques and materials used in their remarkable works of art.
This installment depicts the artisans of Tropical Salvage. Tropical Salvage is a pioneer in job creation through the building and exporting of furniture pieces with astonishing beauty — all crafted from fallen and buried trees.

Bazaar de la Paz is New York City's first 100 percent fair trade store featuring a global array of handcrafted furniture, gifts and home décor all made from salvaged, recycled and/or natural materials.By creating access for artisans to sell their products in a massive consumer marketplace such as New York City--on a fair trade basis--BDLP helps to bring good wages, safe working environments, and meaningful work to individuals and families living in impoverished regions around the world. Through the process of demand creation for fair trade products, BDLP also contributes towards keeping ancient art forms alive that would otherwise be lost due to lack of consumer demand for them.
We are proud to be New York City's source for Tropical Salvage furniture. Tropical Salvage is a local pioneer in job creation in Indonesia through the reclamation of fallen trees from which they craft magnificent one-of-a-kind furniture pieces.
