Siam Old Teak Reduce-ReUse-Recycle

Environmentally Friendly Furniture. Being green is part of our philosophy.

That’s why our construction process is designed to provide superior quality, whilst sustaining our forests.

It all begins with the selection of wood. Large beams are reclaimed from older structures like homes, barns and warehouses throughout South East Asia.

This ensures that no trees are felled and that the wood is already seasoned.

The reclaimed teak is then sent to our workshop where it spends 2 weeks in our solar powered kiln. It's very important to remove any excess moisture from the teak prior to making the pieces.

Teak as a renewable resource
Reclaimed teak is the very heart of our business, and we do everything possible to support sustainable forestry and the responsible use of this precious resource.

The beams we reclaim are century old and have developed beautiful character and patina over the years. Manufacturers who use new or "Green Teak" (Chiang Mai) run a very high risk of their pieces warping and cracking. We only use 100% solid reclaimed teak which is naturally well seasoned.

Teak is a dynamic material, affected by light, air, weather and changes in the temperature. Over the years your furniture will mature and respond to its surroundings.

Our craftsmen love working with aged teak, as the grain speaks for itself and guides their tools. The final piece is always unique, and always full of character.

Craftsmanship
We hand craft everything ourselves, from start to finish. Artisans will work on a single piece at a time focusing their creative energy so that each piece becomes an artful expression of its creator.

Finishing
When the piece is finished it is hand sanded. It then receives 2 coats of French polish before the desired colour is applied. We then use a natural shellac to seal the colour. The piece then receives several coats of natural beeswax before delivery.

Guarantee's
We give a no-quibble money back guarantee on all our pieces irrespective of the age of the piece.

Buy-Back-Policy
We will buy back your furniture at anytime at the price you paid for it, guaranteed.

Rubber Wood, Water Hyacinth, Bamboo, Rattan, Pala Wood and Particle Board/Veneers. These materials are not used in the manufacture of our furniture. These materials become very tired very quickly and don't stand the test of time. Another consideration should be the toxic glues used in veneered furniture. As the glues age and breakdown they gas-off into your living environment. A particularly nasty toxic glue is used during the manufacture of bamboo veneered furniture.
