Imagine for a moment that you are surrounded only by modern - "synthetic" - objects. And in the ultra-modern plastic chest of drawers with streamlined shapes, there is not an old porcelain cup from which your great-grandmother drank tea, grandfather's name dagger was lost somewhere, and for some reason I had to get rid of old photographs …
Today, a multitude of antiques or semi-antique imitations fill modern interiors and vice versa, ultra-trendy designer pieces fit perfectly into the classic environment. And there are amazing pieces that combine the positive characteristics of modern furniture with the virtues of antique materials.
Tick: it is reliably known that the older he is, the better.
Teak has been used in Asian countries for construction since ancient times, in Europe they learned about it around the middle of the 17th century.
Teak - it is a strong, durable material that is easy to process and, most importantly, it is moisture resistant. It rots badly, as it contains tannin and silicon. A three-year-old tree acquires special resistance to fire, mechanical stress and chemical reagents. Due to the presence of tannin, it is not afraid of termites, which is especially important in hot countries. Thanks to its versatility, teak is used both indoors and outdoors. It is used for stairs, floors, blinds, barrels, park benches, pillars, bridges, cladding panels for expensive projects, and is still actively used in interior decoration and shipbuilding.
A teak park bench can last 50-70 years and then be reused, and the material will only benefit from this, and the U-Bane Bridge in Burma was built in 1782. The longest wooden bridge in the world is said to have been built without a single nail and still does not need repairs. In Hindu temples, intact teak logs that are thousands of years old and even older have been found.

In Russia, a collection of furniture made from reused, which means that it is not subject to any shrinkage and deformation, tick is represented by TeakHouse, which has long and fruitful cooperation with the Dbodhi factory. Designers, architects, collectors - lovers of rarities, private customers and classic and unusual interiors are happy to purchase teak furniture, which immediately becomes a highlight in the house and attracts the eye.
For collections Dbodhi furniture characteristic textured surfaces reminiscent of oak in shade (by the way, oak is significantly inferior in hardness to teak). Pronounced wood structure, beautiful pattern - each collection is original and inimitable.
Tables and shelves from the Lekk collection deceptively bulky, ponderous.
Lucy table, with curved legs and in combination with stools covered with animal skins, on the contrary, it looks light and elegant. This collection will fill your home with atmospheric exoticism of hot countries.
Shelving Trapesium made universal, they are suitable for vintage and minimalist interiors, and for rooms made in the spirit of laconic Danish design. AND coffee table Premium made of two ever-competing materials - wood (antique teak) and iron. The table looks very harmonious, simple and intentionally rude, but it will certainly bring that notorious colonial chic into your home.
Perhaps significantly different from the rest items from the Pinot collection and Street art collections … In this case, we have a dyed teak filled with a retro 1960s scent.
Accessories and lampsoffered by the company are even more unusual than the furniture. They will help create the atmosphere of a tropical home in the house, although, strictly speaking, they do not look ethnic at all.
Dolly collection from Dbodhi factory clearly inspired by sea romance. Here we see shelves with chests and boxes, as if they had just been brought from pirate ships.
Teak, so often used in shipbuilding, the interior evokes warm seas, incredible adventures, friendly natives and strange rituals.
For the layman, for a beautiful formulation "Antique wood"most likely, another catch is hiding: they again try to pass off the old for the new to me, and even raise the price, as if I were buying an antique work of art. In the case of teak wood there is no catch. Resistance to decay really allows this unique material to live several "lives" in different guises. One and the same board can first serve for the floor, then become part of a fishing boat, then turn into a mirror or lamp, and at the same time not only retain its unique qualities, but also improve them.
Brutal, restrained, modest, luxurious, sophisticated and affordable. For furniture made of teak, all these characteristics are suitable. And this is not surprising, because before us is wood, which is called antique.
TeakHouse invites you to its studio-galleries in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
