Known for being sturdy and durable, this noble wood, teak, has been used to make ships, buildings, furniture and other things for a long time. The word “teak” is said to originate from the language of the Kerala state in southern India, “thekku” in the Malayalam language, and India has been known worldwide as a teak production center. However, year after year, the natural teak forest has decreased and felling and export are currently prohibited in India. This recycled teak wood series was born in a city where handcrafting is popular in the province of Rajasthan in the northwest. By using recycled materials and handmade processes, PUEBCO imbues these objects with the feel of many lifetimes and a sense of history that makes each piece unique while emphasizing sustainability.
