Kettal teak is sourced from sustainably managed plantations and carefully selected to ensure quality, durability and natural beauty.
Only the most suitable trees are individually selected, using the central part of the trunk, where the wood is straighter and naturally free from branches. Teak is highly valued for its strength, stability and distinctive appearance, making it particularly suitable for high-quality furniture and outdoor applications.
