MATERIALS teak wood & natural rattan Origin: community managed forest from Indonesia CONSTRUCTED WITH TRADITIONAL WOODCRAFT TECHNIQUES Our carpenters use a variety of time-tested joinery methods to craft each chair's solid teak frame. The visible joinery adds beauty, provides strength, & helps us minimize the use of metal fasteners. OVER 400 FEET OF NATURAL RATTAN Our weavers hand weave the seat & backrest using a distinctive webbing pattern. The rattan is woven directly through holes drilled into each teak frame. This adds a lightness & transparency, both literally & visually, as well as ergonomic comfort.
