Teak Furniture

Teak, a material that lives with you

Teak furniture feels equally at home in a light-filled living room or on a terrace exposed to the elements: it is one of the few materials that moves through the seasons without losing its character. The wood's tight grain, its golden hues that evolve into a silvery grey over time, and the subtle natural smoothness of its surface… each piece has a texture that can be appreciated as much by touch as by sight. At Maison Pavane, this selection brings together designer wooden furniture chosen for the density of its material and the simplicity of its lines. Teak is also available in recycled form, salvaged from old structures: our guide explains what distinguishes recycled wood from new wood.

Choosing your teak furniture: the criteria that matter

Teak is naturally an oily wood, which makes it resistant to moisture and temperature changes. Indoors, it is easy to maintain with a slightly damp cloth; outdoors, applying teak oil once or twice a year preserves its warm colour if you wish to avoid the natural greying that would otherwise occur—a perfectly healthy process.

For the dining room, opt for a teak dining table with solid legs if your space allows, or choose a more compact format for an open-plan kitchen. Teak sideboards provide plenty of storage without visually weighing down the room, thanks to the wood grain, which naturally lightens the front. In the living room, a teak coffee table placed on a textured rug creates a matte/soft contrast that makes an interior instantly easy to read. Always check the thickness of the tops and the sturdiness of the joints: well-crafted teak is recognisable by the precision of its joinery.

Pairing teak with your interior

Teak pairs naturally with linen, washed cotton and rattan: place a rattan armchair opposite a teak coffee table and you will create a sunny late-afternoon atmosphere effortlessly. In terms of colour palette, terracotta tones, off-white and sage green complement its natural golden hues. It also works beautifully outdoors, alongside a teak garden furniture set for a terrace designed as a true living space. Returns are accepted within 60 days, so you can take the time to see how the material settles into your home.
