The recycled wood we use comes from old Indonesian houses being demolished to make way for brick houses. As a building material, teak has been a truly beautiful and durable material for centuries, withstanding the scorching sun and high humidity and not being liked by pests.
Due to the origin of the wood and the craftsmanship, furniture made from recycled teak is unique.
Wood color, surface and dimensions
Due to fluctuations in humidity, wood aging is a characteristic of teak furniture, just like any solid wood furniture. This means that very thin cracks may appear in the wood, which do not affect its use in any way.
Furniture made from recycled teak is not smooth like furniture made from particleboard. Rusticity is an essential part of this furniture.
All untreated teak furniture has the same tone, but the surface color varies, due to the origin of the wood. Therefore, no piece of furniture is exactly the same, for example compared to the pictures on the online store's website.
Due to handmade nature, product dimensions may be up to 10mm larger or smaller than in the product description.
Yesterday's wall, tomorrow's furniture
Table tops and the tops of sideboards, TV stands and chests of drawers can also have a wooden slot, which we think makes these pieces of furniture fun and unique - by looking at the slot, you can guess whether the piece of furniture used a ceiling beam with a lead-through, or perhaps a floorboard with a hole made for a water pipe. The wooden slot is barely noticeable from a distance, but our skilled carpenters know how to make it so beautifully. And you can't feel the slot with your fingers at all.
