Value.
Teak is one of the best values available today
in outdoor furniture. For years, teak has had the reputation of being very
costly, and from some sources it still is. However, competition in the
market is bringing the price to very reasonable levels. Be sure to compare design, workmanship and price
very carefully before purchasing.
Design.
Outdoor
furniture made of teak is usually very classic and simple in design. The
natural appearance of teak wood lends itself to uncomplicated designs which
subtly blend in with the surrounding architecture and landscape. The
stateliness of teak furniture works equally well on the terraces of
traditional country inns or in the lobbies of the most contemporary hotels.
Designers and architects have become more acquainted with the versatility
and durability of teak outdoor furniture, the range in available styles has
grown. Along with the classic designs, more streamlined, contemporary
designs have reached the market. While it is always good to have a broad
range of styles to choose from, it is important to avoid styles which are so
modern that they appear to be interior furniture which has been brought
outdoors.
When choosing teak outdoor furniture, look for styles that will enhance, but
not overpower the landscape or setting for which it is chosen. Attention
should be paid to the scale of the surroundings -- vast estate-like
buildings require benches and dining groupings which are very substantial in
dimension and weight. In contrast, smaller, more delicate architecture will
need lighter weight furniture.
Aesthetics. Teak
furniture is very smooth to the touch and does not splinter. Teak even
smells good -- it has a faint, pleasant aromatic smell. Not only does teak
have a warm appearance, but it also stays very neutral in temperature
compared to plastic or metal furniture when exposed to the head of the sun
or cold winter days.
Teak also is one of the few materials that actually beautifies with age. The
silvery gray patina which develops over time gives teak outdoor furniture a
richness and stateliness. The slow, natural weathering of teak results in
outdoor furniture which blends in naturally to become part of the
environment in which it is placed.
