Sustainability
Sustainability is a trendy word, and it's nice to say you sell durable furniture, but what makes garden furniture durable? In a nutshell: a long service life, low wear and tear, and a production process that is both humane and environmentally friendly. For most of us, the outdoors is associated with positive experiences - it is where we can find that "piece of nature" that is so often missing in busy lives.. Spending time outdoors is associated with the smell of spring, the feeling of a vacation, a barbecue with friends and the ultimate in relaxation. Traditional Teak is proud of the fact that its furniture is constantly monitored and that it is produced in an ecologically correct way, from the plantation of the tree to the finished piece of furniture. Many of the pieces of furniture are FSC certified. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a non-profit, independent, non-governmental organization. Its mission is to promote the sustainable management of the world's forests in an environmentally sound, socially beneficial and economically viable manner. For Traditional Teak, the quality of its products is as important as certification. Combining craftsmanship and knowledge of materials allows Traditional Teak to create timeless, functional and solid products that retain their value and meet today's demands for comfort and durability.
