Designed for use with the rest of this supplier's range (see below), this FSC Reclaimed Teak Classic Dining Chair is handmade as a single piece, thus making it exceptionally strong, solid and stable. For comfort it has an ergonomic back profile and contoured seat. During the colder months, these chairs make a splendid addition to any conservatory and when the weather warms up they can simply be moved outdoors for use in the garden, as they have a water resistant finish making them ideal for exterior use. Each one comes with an acrylic cushion, which is both water and fade resistant, in a choice of five colours: Canvas; Sea Sand; Spruce; Navy; Black. Cushions are machine washable at 40 degrees C. Reclaimed Teak The wood used to make this furniture is reclaimed teak. This reclaimed teak comes in all manner of shapes and surprises, from tiny fittings to massive ancient timbers. Carefully recovered by hand from old and neglected buildings, each and every piece of this wonderful wood has a special history and story to tell. This supplier only produces designs by using carefully graded and selected reclaimed teak timbers for four primary reasons: 1) Visually: these ancient timbers have a beautiful mature grain and colour very unlike new teak which tends to be very pale and plain in colour. 2) Stability: as these ancient timbers have been seasoning for such a long time the timber has become incredibly stable and is capable of withstanding fluctuations in temperature, weather elements as well as easily coping with the general rigours of every day use. 3) Structurally: these ancient timbers came from very mature trees, and by only using extremely large beams to make their furniture do they make sure that there is a very high concentration of natural oils within each piece of timber, which makes these ancient teak timbers extremely dense, strong and perfect for furniture making. 4) Environmental: by ensuring that every single piece of their teak comes from carefully selected and salvaged timbers, they eliminate the need to cut down living teak trees - which helps to preserve natural forests and protect the environment. The supplier prefers salvaging from early 20th century structures because the timbers available from that period were some of the best the world has ever seen. For instance, they are currently using some fabulous ancient teak beams which they salvaged last year from an old French Military Hospital, dating from around 1904. Importantly, the reclaimed teak timbers are also independently audited by both the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and SmartWood to guarantee that they are genuinely reclaimed and salvaged in a responsible manner. This is their way of guaranteeing that all of their furniture is environmentally, historically and socially acceptable. Key features: - FSC certified reclaimed timber; - Water resistant exterior finish; - Handmade; - Cushion comes in a choice of five colours.
