Our root furniture is hand crafted from the finest quality solid teak root, making each piece totally unique and individual. Designed by skilled craftsmen using techniques handed down over centuries.

Produced from sustainable forests on the Indonesian island of Java, our teak trees are at least 70 years old. Our root furniture is produced from trees buried during landslides following periods of heavy rain. Bamboo canes up to 5 meters long are used to locate the whole tree deep underground before the careful task of excavation can begin. Some large pieces (special order only) of root furniture can weigh up to 1/2 tonne, whereas most stock items can be carried by two people

Teak has been used for hundreds of years by shipwrights and carpenters to withstand extreme weather conditions, due to the natural oil content, which makes teak resistant to rot and therefore an ideal and practical form of garden furniture.

 

Root sculptures are pieces of the natural root that will compliment both our root furniture and provide a conversation piece in any garden.
Teak root furniture can remain outside all year, our root furniture is treated to maintain the natural colour and enhance the grain of the wood. Untreated teak will take on a natural silvery appearance as it weathers.

As each piece is crafted from the whole root, no two pieces are the same and dimensions will vary.

Root Sculptures with shelves  make ideal freestanding pieces for use within the home as plant or ornament stands, or in the garden, as a drink’s stand placed next to your root furniture.

The root is left in its natural state whilst the shelves are treated to compliment the use and appearance of these pieces.
