This bench is crafted from teak, a type of wood valued for centuries for its incredible strength and resilience. Our teak is sourced almost entirely from Indonesian plantations, where it’s managed sustainably and is fully traceable through FLEGT certification. This gives you the peace of mind that you’re picking a bench that’s as responsible as it is beautiful.

Teak is a living material, and when left outdoors, it will slowly transition into a stunning, timeless silver-grey. Love that original warm wood glow? Simply treat the bench once a year with a special teak oil to keep the colors vibrant.

How to style this bench? Indoors, it looks incredible at the foot of your bed with a soft throw and a few beautiful books on top. In the living room, try placing it against a plain wall with a large
lantern beside it. Outdoors, it becomes the ultimate spot for your morning coffee against the wall of your house. Thanks to its clean design, it fits seamlessly into a modern, Scandinavian, or even a
more daring interior style.

Why choose this teak bench:
• Compact design that fits every corner: 120x35x48 cm
• A conscious choice made with responsibly sourced teak
• Low maintenance: develops a gorgeous patina in the open air
• Versatile styling for your entire home and garden

Mango Wood
This product is crafted from a special hardwood: mango wood from India. This wood species is highly sustainable, as it is a byproduct of the food industry, namely
mango fruit. The trees grow extensively in India and mature rapidly: 15 years instead of, for example, oak (50-100 years). The fruit production is good in the initial period of the tree. As it
ages, the fruit production decreases. Therefore, this tree becomes less economically valuable on mango plantations. The solution for mango farmers is to cut and replant. This method of operation makes mango wood truly sustainable. After its life as a food producer, the wood gets a second life as furniture. The base of mango wood has a warm color, but due to variations in the wood, there may be deviations. It gives each piece of furniture a robust and unique appearance.

Finish
The mango wood is sanded and coated with a sealer and wax layer to protect against water stains.

Material
Mango wood.

Maintenance
– Occasionally wipe with a lightly damp or dry cloth without heavy stitching to prevent scratches.
– Avoid all cleaning tools with a rough surface.
– Avoid polish or cleaning products containing silicone, as these can naturally dry out the wood over time.
– Do not use cleaning agents or products containing ammonia.
– Rub wax into the wood for a beautiful sheen and a natural protective layer. This also prevents the wood from drying out.
– Mineral (wood) oil can be applied with a cloth. Over time, this will produce a protective surface.

Origin:
All Carpenter benches are made from recycled teak wood. This type of wood is strong and also known for the beautiful drawings in the wood.

Teak has been a preferred hardwood for centuries for furniture, construction and shipbuilding, also because it is very durable and suitable for outdoor use. Teak wood is indigenous in India, Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar, but because of extensive logging, it is only in Myanmar that it still grows in natural forests.

In Indonesia, it was introduced in the 16th century and during Dutch colonial times, large plantations were started. After Indonesia became independent the Indonesian government managed the plantations. This has been quite successful, as teak is a valuable wood and it has always been economical to replant teak after logging trees. Practically all the teak wood in Indonesia that is used for furniture production comes from these plantations. Only for local use sometimes teak from small farms near villages are used. Since it does not grow in the natural forests of Indonesia, no tropical forests are cut for teak wood.

Since 2016 the Indonesian government has regulated all timber trade, with a system to trace all wood that is exported back to the source, where the trees were cut. This has been part of the FLEGT trade agreement with the EU, to guarantee that only legal wood is imported into the EU. These aspects together make teak production in Indonesia and its use for furniture both economically and environmentally sustainable.

Materials:
Recycled teak wood

Maintenance:
-The wood has a water-based coating, which protects against water stains, but advised is to use the furniture only indoors and not to leave fluids on the wood for a longer period of time.
-Small damage or scratches in the wood with natural colour can be treated only on the spot itself with transparent or very light coloured oil.
