Teak Adirondack Chair

Where is Adirondack?
The Adirondack Mountains are a mountain range located in the northeastern part of New York. The Adirondack Mountain Region is home to the rustic furniture tradition of 19th-century America. The iconic Adirondack chair is based on a design by Thomas Lee around 1900, who had a summer cottage on Lake Champlain. Harry Bunnell, an out of work carpenter and friend of Thomas Lee, began to make chairs with backs, seats, and armrests made of wide planks. In 1905 he patented his version of the Adirondack style chair and this was the beginning of the sloped back - wide armrest Adirondack Chair that we know and love today.

What makes an Adirondack Teak Chair special?
The Adirondack Chair is one of the most popular outdoor chairs in the United States. The design of the chair has wide arms, a contoured seat and a scalloped back. The reason for the comfort of an Adirondack chair is that the chair back inclines 30 degrees and is curved to the shape of your back which in turn, provides excellent support to the lower back. The teak Adirondack chair has a deep, angled seat and broad arm rests. The arm rests are a major feature as these provide the perfect place to rest a plate of food & drink.

Teak Outdoor Furniture

Outdoor furniture such as teak garden benches and teak chairs may prove to be initially expensive; but should turn out to be an investment in the longer term. Instead of replacing outdoor furniture every year or so, a one time investment in teak furniture saves money over the years. There are some teak park benches in European cities that date back more than 100 years!

Tectona Grandis, the Latin name for teak, is said to be indigenous to India, Burma, Thailand, Indochina and Java. It has been extensively planted for timber or as an ornamental within its natural range and throughout the tropical regions of the world, including East and West Africa, as well as Cuba and the Caribbean, and South America from Panama to Brazil.

Teak is a very beautiful and durable type of wood, making it highly sought after. It takes about twenty years to plant and harvest a teak tree which makes it possible to sustain the production of teak. There are many teak farming schemes all around the world, helping local economies and taking the pressure off of the rain forests.
