Teak is the preferred supplier of solid
reclaimed teak furniture in Hua Hin.
They have a small factory in the north
of Thailand and control all aspects of
their very successful business. Each
piece of furniture is made individually,
not mass produced and their Artisans are
true wood craftsmen. They pride
themselves on making each piece uniquely
different and use many traditional
woodworking hand tools to create and
build their furniture. No machinery of
any kind is used to make their
furniture. Each piece is built using
time honored carpentry techniques from
tight fitting mortise and tenons to hand
cut dovetails.
Ya explains
‘We control all aspects of our business.
We source the old teak from ancient and
neglected houses that have been selected
for demolition. Many have been standing
between 75 to 200 years. The main house
frame construction and outer panels are
made from teak, which is carefully
recovered for the production of our
furniture. Also from time to time we are
privileged to recover a number of
ancient carved panels, these are truly
unique and are one of a kind finds We
have a new show house opening soon that
will house our ‘One-Offs & Ancients’. It
will also be home to our extensive
collection of antique Chinese furniture
which has proved to be very successful
in Bangkok.’ |
