Weathered teak brings a quiet, lived-in warmth to a room, with the kind of surface that feels as though it has already held many stories. This three-drawer chest is made from recycled teak wood, giving everyday storage a slower, more characterful presence. It suits the small things that gather beside a bed, in a study, or in a calm corner of the home.

Teak is valued in furniture for its dense grain and natural resilience, which is why it has long been used for pieces made to last.

A second life for working wood
Reclaimed teak carries a different feeling from new timber. Here, wood that once belonged to fishing boats is brought back into domestic use, keeping its weathered colouring and rustic texture rather than sanding away all trace of its past. In Indonesian furniture making, this kind of reuse gives strong hardwood a new purpos…
