Imagine an Edwardian steamship effortlessly cutting through the waves of the Atlantic ocean, on route to New York. Elegantly dressed passengers hold onto their hats whilst taking their daily walk on the promenade deck. Meanwhile, other passengers chat & relax on deck whilst sat on distinctive wooden reclining chairs. Significantly, it was perhaps these hardwood steamer chairs that first brought teak furniture into the public consciousness. From then on, teak furniture would be associated with style, quality, longevity & natural charm. Fast-forward to 2022, and teak garden furniture still conjures up the same emotions and associations. However, a lot has happened in the timeline of hardwood garden furniture in the last hundred years.
Teak (Tectona grandis) derives its name from the Malayalam word “tēkka”. Importantly, this highly prized hardwood is native to India, Thailand and Myanmar, but is now also grown in Africa, South & Central America. Significantly, the timber is dimensionally stable & naturally oil-rich, making it incredibly strong & highly resistant to rotting and corrosion. Consequently, these characteristics make teak the perfect choice for luxury outdoor furniture. Lastly, teak outdoor furniture naturally acquires a stylish silver-grey patina once exposed to the elements. Whilst some clients highly prize this chic finish, others prefer to apply a teak preserver to maintain the wood’s original golden hues.
The planet faces unprecedented environmental challenges as pressures grow on the world’s natural resources. Consequently, it’s never been more important to ensure that we supply responsibly sourced teak furniture.
Significantly, the FSC forest management certification confirms that the forest is being managed in a sustainable way. For example, this involves the preservation of biological diversity, whilst also benefitting the lives of local people and workers as well as ensuring sustainable economic viability. Moreover, FSC-certified forests are managed to strict environmental, social and economic standards. Consequently, the FSC label provides the peace of mind that you are purchasing the finest quality teak furniture. Moreover, you can rest assured that the teak has been produced & sourced in the most responsible & sustainable manner.
For instance, all teak used in the Cane-line garden furniture collection is FSC certified. Secondly, both Yati & Kebon and Grythyttan Möbler outdoor furniture use only FSC certified teak.

Moreover, it is the company’s aim to ensure that future generations will also be able to harvest and appreciate this natural treasure.
Significantly, Royal Botania set up the Green Forest Plantation Company in 2011. For example, this created a teak plantation with a surface area of approximately 200 hectares/ 500 acres. What’s more, over 250,000 teak trees were planted there between 2011 and 2014. Consequently, Royal Botania aim to create a sustainable business model based upon regenerative forest growth. For instance, this will ensure the continued production of finely crafted outdoor furniture with reduced environmental impact.
