DETAIL
The ottoman from the Mediterraneo collection by Francesco Meda, featuring a teak structure and removable cushion, combines elegance and comfort. Its curved and enveloping lines offer a unique relaxation experience, inspired by the simplicity and naturalness of Mediterranean design. Seat cushion with polyurethane foams. Nylon gliders.
NATURAL TEAK
These products are made of solid teak wood, coming from Burma plantations, Indonesia. The material is not treated, but its unique inner oily resin naturally improves its impermeability and resistance, even to insects and parasites. By exposure to the air, light and weathering, its colour changes and turns into different shades of grey.
A long exposure to the weathering does not prejudice the product stability, but can cause some splits into the wood. An adequate protection is therefore suggested. In some cases, the natural teak can stain light surfaces/fabrics it gets in touch with. We recommend the use of protective gliders and / or other protections, if required.
By exposure to the air, light and weather, its colour changes and turns to different shades of grey, typical of old wood. This superficial oxidation contributes, with the oil moisture, to the long lasting durability of the material itself.
A long exposure to different weather conditions does not prejudice the product stability, but can create cracks in the wood. An adequate protection is therefore suggested.
