Product Description
The Teak and Cane bench is a re-edition of the low teak bench designed for residential hostels in Chandigarh. The bench is a three-seater with cane-lattice seating and the characteristic V-leg assemblies on either end. Each V-leg assembly is comprised of a long and short leg piece. A supporting crossbar runs along the length of the bench between the the longer leg pieces. The natural rattan cane is peeled and woven meticulously by hand.
The Teak and Cane bench can be used in multiple settings: as a seating bench at a dining table, as a side table to keep objects on, at the foot of a bed to keep pillows and blankets, or as an accent piece.
Product Specification
Product Options
We offer this product in a choice of two wood finishes: Natural Teak and Dark Stain.
The Natural Teak finish provides the clearest expressions of the timber’s character, while the Dark Stain finish gives the wood a deeper, richer tone while preserving the clarity of the grain.
Both finishes begin with hand-sanding the wood with progressively finer grits of sandpaper. The Natural Teak is finished with a hard wax oil that brings out the wood’s golden-brown colour. The Dark Stain, post sanding, receives an application of a waterborne, custom-developed dark teak stain.
Please note that each batch of teak is unique and actual shade may vary from the reference images.
