Crafting teak furniture is more than just a process at Ash & Ember—it’s an art form. A commitment to timeless luxury and enduring quality. Our outdoor collections are born with a profound respect for nature, thoughtful design, and heritage-quality craftsmanship.
Here’s a closer look at the artistry behind our pieces and the journey they go on before they make it to your backyard.
True quality demands patience. Our teak trees mature over four to five decades within legally managed Indonesian plantations, where the harmony of climate, soil, and care forge their dense grain and rich natural oils.
This slow, deliberate growth cultivates the wood’s renowned strength, resilience, and natural weather resistance–qualities that define Grade A teak and distinguish it from other woods.
Sourced exclusively from the coveted heartwood of the tree, Grade A teak boasts an exceptionally fine grain, virtually free of knots and blemishes–and natural oils that resist moisture, warping, and decay while exuding warmth and a luster unmatched by other hardwoods.
Luxury without conscience is no luxury at all. We source our teak exclusively from legal, government-regulated plantations in Indonesia—never from natural forests. These plantations embody responsible forestry, balancing environmental preservation with community well-being.
By embracing sustainable cultivation, Ash & Ember participates in a legacy of stewardship, ensuring that the forests thrive alongside our craft. This commitment is not an afterthought but a foundation of our work.
Devoted to precision, our craftsmen bring care to every detail. Each board is kiln-dried for a minimum of 30 days, a critical step that enhances hardness and dimensional stability.
From there, every surface is hand-sanded and polished to an exceptionally smooth finish, preserving the wood’s natural grain and creating a tactile experience with every use.
Shaped to exacting standards, the joints and joinery are meticulously crafted to marry durability with elegance that stands the test of time and climate.
The result; Heirloom-quality furniture that elevates everyday moments.
Grade A teak has a naturally rich, warm honey-golden hue and a natural sheen. With time and exposure, it naturally ages to a distinguished silvery patina—a hallmark of true teak’s enduring character.
Whether you choose to preserve the original warmth with oils and sealants or allow the wood’s beauty to evolve organically, teak’s beauty remains resilient and timeless.
Owning Ash & Ember teak furniture is more than a purchase; it’s an investment in a lifestyle defined by quiet confidence and refined taste. These pieces become the setting for your most cherished moments—whether it’s a solo retreat on your own or gatherings with family and friends.
In an increasingly complex world, clarity and honesty are paramount. Ash & Ember is committed to full transparency—from the forests of Indonesia to your doorstep. We invite you to trust not only in the beauty and quality of our furniture but also in the ethics and care embedded in its very creation.
