Sustainably Sourced Teak for Outdoor Living

Teak has long been the preferred material for outdoor furniture, valued for its natural resistance to moisture, insects, and UV exposure. The dense grain and high oil content of the wood allow it to weather gracefully over time. Wisteria's outdoor furniture collection is built primarily from sustainably sourced teak and designed for covered porches, open patios, poolside settings, and garden dining areas.

Seating

The collection covers a full range of outdoor seating suited to different spaces and uses.

• Sofas and Loveseats: Teak-framed outdoor sofas and loveseats with deep proportions that accommodate cushions for comfort. Available in full-size, loveseat, and one-arm modular formats for flexible arrangements on larger patios and terraces.

• Lounge Chairs and Chaises: Reclining loungers, deck chairs, and double sunloungers for poolside and garden relaxation. Several styles include adjustable back positions. Slatted surfaces allow water drainage and fast drying after rain.

• Dining Chairs: Stacking chairs, folding chairs, and director-style chairs for outdoor dining. Stacking and folding options simplify storage during off-seasons or when reconfiguring for larger gatherings. Some styles include upholstered cushions for added comfort.

• Bar and Counter Stools: Counter-height teak stools and director-style bar chairs that pair with counter tables and outdoor bars for elevated, casual entertaining.

• Club Chairs and Modular Pieces: Corner chairs, one-arm sections, and club chairs that can be arranged in L-shaped or sectional configurations. These pieces allow layouts that adapt to the shape of the outdoor space.

Tables

• Dining Tables: Extendable and fixed dining tables in rectangular, square, and round formats. Extension mechanisms expand for larger gatherings and return to a compact footprint for everyday use.

• Coffee and Side Tables: Lower tables scaled for lounge areas, providing surface area for drinks, books, and decorative objects alongside loungers and seating groups.

• Counter Tables: Counter-height tables for casual outdoor dining and bar-style entertaining, designed to pair with the collection's counter stools.

Material Properties

Teak's natural durability comes from its high silica and oil content, which make the wood resistant to rot, warping, and insect damage without chemical treatment. When exposed to sun and rain, untreated teak transitions from its original golden-brown tone to a soft silver-gray patina. This weathering is purely cosmetic and does not affect the wood's strength. For those who prefer the warm original tone, periodic teak oil application restores the color.

Construction

Furniture in this collection uses mortise-and-tenon joinery and stainless steel hardware at structural connection points. Seat surfaces and tabletops are slatted to allow water drainage, reducing pooling and accelerating drying. These construction methods provide long-term stability under repeated exposure to weather, wind, and daily use.
