Material
Teak root – Teak Branch – Teak wood
Teak is a tropical hardwood tree found in India and South East Asia, which we source from the overgrowth on rainforest floors. Teak has a high protective oil content, making it capable of lasting a lifetime. It can even resist extreme temperatures and humidity. It’s a lovely natural material that can be used both indoors and outdoors.
Bazar Bizar uses teak branches and teak roots. Now, what is the difference between these two? Teak branches are collected branches from the trees. These branches are either found or left over from another furniture making. Teak root comes from the trunk of the tree and is obtained from fallen teak trees. Note that the teak trees are not cut down for production!
Raffia is made from the raffia palms that are found in Madagascar but also in parts of Central and South America. Because of the natural resin, raffia is extremely durable. It makes each piece flexible and pliant so beautiful pieces can be created.
Maintenance
Teak root – Teak Branch – Teak wood
You can use a cloth with warm water and mild soap to clean your teak furniture. Be sure to wipe off all the soap residue after cleaning and let the wood dry properly. If there are any stains, remove them gently. Don’t use a sponge because this can scratch the wood.
If you want longer-lasting maintenance and to protect your teak wood furniture, you can use teak oil to waterproof it and prevent it from spots. If you polish your teak root wood, you get a beautiful golden color. Exposed to the elements, the teak root wood color will fade to a silver-grey shade.
Raffia
The best way to clean products made from raffia such as rugs is to hang them outside in fresh air. If you stain it, clean it as quickly as possible. Water can remove stains that did not have a chance to seep into the fibers. If you use water on raffia, let it dry in the sun before using it again. If it’s still wet there is a chance it will mold. Raffia is a natural fiber so do not use harsh chemicals on stains.
