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.
