The “go green” movement is playing an important role for the environment. In the furniture industry in Indonesia, using recycled wood such as reclaimed teak as the material can be a way to save the earth. It is simply because we do not cut down any trees to make a piece of furniture and save the old wood instead of ending up at the landfill. Furthermore, recycled teak from Indonesia has several characteristics that make the products from this material so special and unique, such as:
Naturally Drying
Drying freshly sawn timber is necessary to protect it against primary decay, fungal stain, and attack by certain kinds of insects. Organisms, which cause decay and stain, generally cannot thrive in timber with a moisture content below 20%. However, reclaimed teak does not require any additional drying process. Because it has naturally dried by the exposure to rain and shine over the years.
Unique
Every piece of reclaimed teak is unique, because it has different patina finishing based on their placement and degree of exposure to the rain and shine. This allow us to produce furniture with a lovely gradation of warm, honey-golden hues, giving each piece the character that cannot be replicated.
Artistic
Reclaimed teak adds an artistic value to a furniture. Its patina and grain patterns make the furniture made from reclaimed teak have a high value of art.
