Teak New Dining Set

Every Teak New Dining Set begins as Grade-A teak, seasoned for months until its natural oils settle, chosen board by board in our Manarcadu atelier for legendary moisture resistance and a honey-gold grain that deepens with age. Our carpenters join the frame the traditional Kerala way — mortise-and-tenon and dovetail joinery, no metal fasteners where wood can do the work — so the dining piece tightens with the seasons instead of loosening. The Contemporary silhouette is finished in hand-rubbed natural teak oil, applied and buffed entirely by hand. From first saw cut to final polish, it is built by the same small team, signed off by the master who trained them, and made to be passed down.

Dust the timber with a soft, dry cloth; wipe spills promptly and avoid silicone sprays or harsh solvents. Re-nourish the finish once or twice a year with a natural furniture oil or beeswax balm. Keep a hand-width from direct heat sources and out of harsh afternoon sun — solid wood likes stable humidity. Small marks can be buffed out with fine steel wool and oil; this is furniture built to be repaired, not replaced.
