Contemporary Teak by Ethnicraft

We have always said that the key to success in the interiors industry is a combination of quality brands and a personal service. Ethnicraft is one of those brands which really stands out in the competitive industry of contemporary solid wood furniture. The designs you see in Ethnicraft's range are a cut above what you will see on your local high street. That's not a knock against other retailers, simply a recognition of the fact that Ethnicraft's designers are some of the best in the world.

Ethnicraft's unique approach to contemporary furniture has made them one of the most revered creators of high quality oak furniture in Europe; this same innovative way of thinking has also led to the creation of contemporary furniture made from solid teak. Teak, for those who don't know, is a tropical hardwood commonly used for garden furniture. What makes teak so suitable for garden furniture is its tremendously resilient natural oil content.

It's a shame not to make the most of a beautiful material such as teak, so Ethnicraft decided to invite it indoors. Unlike oak, teak furniture is not historically a huge industry, so all of the designs are able to exist in their own right, without competition from knock-off imitations. The oils which make it so popular for garden furniture are exactly what makes solid teak such a unique and elegant medium with which to make furniture for inside.

You can see in the video below just how unique the grain and tone of solid teak really is. It doesn't take a huge sideboard of wardrobe or teak to make it's impression on a room; the eye-catching, unique nature of teak is what makes it so special.
