This piece is made from reclaimed teak, selectively salvaged from fallen down old Javanese buildings, that has naturally aged over decades of exposure to the elements.
The ageing process is reflected throughout each piece, presenting unique markings and diverse color tones. These characteristics form part of the authenticity and beauty of reclaimed teak.
Teak is highly resistant to outdoor conditions, bugs, and moisture retention and offers incredible benefits over other natural materials.
The natural tendency for teak is to patina beautifully into a silvery-grey look, which develops over time in natural conditions, including sunlight and ambient moisture.
The benefits of teak wood allow it to weather gracefully but also maintain its integrity so as not to degrade like other hardwoods and softwood.
Our range is largely individually, hand-made pieces. As the majority of our products are made from natural materials, elements such as texture, colour and pattern may vary piece to piece.
Reclaimed timbers, naturally weathered materials and off-cuts otherwise discarded are frequently part of Uniqwa design features. Over time, natural splitting, cracking and loss of natural oils may occur and form part of the characteristics and beauty of Uniqwa products. These are not viewed as imperfections or faults, rather part of the natural life and beauty of timber.
We believe the use of natural materials and hand-crafted elements result in a testament to the unique qualities found in materials originating from nature.
As every monitor displays different color tones, the color of pictures on our website and social media cannot be taken as a true color indication of the actual products. Some product's tones may appear to vary from catalogue or website images.
