Split Small Table

As with our own fingerprints, so every teak tree is one of a kind. Even within the managed plantation environment, no two trees share the same ground or reach for the light in the same way and thus, each grows and matures in its own unique way with the natural variations and irregularities that give timber it’s inherent appeal. Every growth ring, every knot and the graceful ebb and flow of the grain stands testament to its journey from young sapling to mature tree – a journey of up to 70 years.

In normal mass production, timber is regulated, ordered, standardised to conform to strict manufacturing parameters. But with the Raw concept, we celebrate the unpredictable and revere the irregularity of nature. Whether it be the colour or depth of the sap wood or the texture of the bark – each imperfection tells a story and marks each piece out as unique. Just as no two teak trees are the same, so no two pieces of Raw furniture will match.
