What is the Danish teak furniture?

Danish teak furniture is a wide category of household furniture - usually tables and chairs - made of teak wood and include basic Danish design elements. In the mid -20th century, teak furniture became popular home accessories throughout Denmark. Teak wood is remarkably durable, but its price has risen because the world teak supplies are shrinking. Many collectors long for Danish teak furniture in the middle of the century for their style and history, as well as its longevity. Danish designers currently often produce designs that mimic the style of traditional teak furniture, although they often use cheaper wood.

Teak wood is indigenous for Indonesia and tropical climate of Southeast Asia. Danish settlers tried to colonize Indonesia in the 18th century, and while they were there, the teaks of wood and its properties were happy. It has become common practice to provide colonies houses in teak and also send the main lots of teak wood home to Denmaruk.

populaRita Danish teak furniture has not caught up in Denmark for almost a century. Only shortly after World War II, Danish designers began to launch teak wooden furniture to the general public. Danish teak furniture from this period is defined by its simplicity, smooth lines and low profile.

Because teak wood is particularly durable, much of the furniture produced in the post -war period to this day still exists in excellent condition. It is often sold in furniture stores around the world as "Danish modern furniture" and often still looks brand new. Collectors and antique dealers also sell teak modern furniture and can get relatively high prices for well -preserved or renewed pieces.

Little has changed about Danish furniture design over the years. Most of the Danish -style furniture today retains a simple linear look of postwar pieces. This increases the sales of modern DThe furniture and also influenced the style of most of the new Danish or Danish furniture.

Some new furniture is, like the old, made of teak. A brand new Danish teak furniture can be almost indistinguishable from the antique Danish teak furniture. However, due to the increase in the price of teak timber, new pieces can be quite expensive. Although they were once abundant, teak forests in South Asia have been stolen in many places, poorly bred or limited to agricultural crops or other businesses. Some teak farms persist, but lower supply means that demand - and the price with it - is much higher.

Many designers who capture the appearance of Danish teak furniture resort to other forests such as oak or pink wood. These forests, either separately or in combination with selected teak panels, give a feeling of teak without cost. In built-up style, even Faux-teok furniture will correspond to authentic pieces and can allow decorators to createRelieve upscale, modern appearance without price tag.
