St Catherine Teak Bench

This furniture is designed by Arne Jacobsen (1902-1971) who is one of Denmark's most renowned architects. He is well-known for the iconic total architectural designs that he created from the 1930s onwards where he, in addition to the building project itself, also supplied designs for furniture, textiles, lamps, glass, cutlery, clocks, bathroom fixtures, door handles, etc.

But already as a student in the 1920s Arne Jacobsen gained international recognition for his first furniture designs which was made in wicker. These set the tone for his career and quickly placed him among the most visionary architects of his time. Read more about Arne Jacobsen here.

Teak wood is known for its high strength and durability. Due to the wood's natural oil content, it is very resistant to wind and weather, insects, and rot. All our teak products are labeled with "Indonesian Legal Wood", which ensures that the wood has been sourced responsibly and can be traced back to the original sender at any time.

Our outdoor teak products are made from new teak from plantations overseen by the Indonesian government, ensuring that no tree that is too immature or too small is cut down.

MAINTENANCE Over time teak furniture exposed to sun and rain will turn grey. Teak furniture requires no maintenance but if you want to preserve the dark brown color, the teak must be treated with oil or teak sealer.
