Summit Teak
Teak is nature’s most enduring gift to design. Resistant, renewable, and long-lived, it brings both strength and elegance to every piece we create. Its timeless character ensures our furniture is not only beautiful today, but for generations to come.
A MATERIAL LIKE NO OTHER
At the core of Summit Furniture is teak—the foundation of our collections for more than four decades. Selected for its strength, character, and longevity, teak offers qualities unmatched by any other hardwood. Its natural oils and dense grain give it enduring resistance to moisture, insects, and weather, making it ideally suited for life outdoors.
PREMIUM GRADE A HEARTWOOD
We use only plantation-grown Grade A Indonesian teak, sourced from the center—or heartwood—of the tree. This rare material is prized for its warm golden color, even grain, and freedom from knots or imperfections. Each log takes decades to mature, producing wood that is both remarkably durable and consistently beautiful.
RESPONSIBLE ORGINS
Our teak comes exclusively from government-regulated plantations in Indonesia, where harvesting and replanting are carefully managed. For every tree felled, multiple saplings are planted, continuing the generational cycle. This ensures not only a reliable supply but also respect for the land and communities that sustain it.
A NATURAL EVOLUTION
Over time, teak transforms gracefully. The sun and air gradually shift its surface from honey-brown to a silvery patina, a hallmark of authentic, natural teak. These natural shifts are part of teak’s enduring story, a reminder that true sustainability comes from materials designed to last for generations—not to be replaced. With proper care, teak’s beauty can be renewed season after season. Download our Care & Maintenance Guide.
