Even the most skilled artisan must have the right materials, and for the best in furniture, the Danes use teak as the primary wood. Teak, a tropical hardwood native to Asia, has long been used in boat building, outdoor furniture and other applications where resistance to decay was paramount. The natural oils in teak wood make it not only resistant to decay, but also highly resistant to the shrinkage that causes furniture joints to loosen and eventually fail. The tight grain of teak means that it takes finishing well, resulting in a lustrous glowing finish.
In the Mid 20th century Danish craftsmen began to utilize teak to its fullest, capitalizing on the wood's innate attributes to create furniture in a contemporary style that is still reflected in today's modern furniture. In fact many of the pieces built in the 1950's and 60's are still around today, just as beautiful and functional as the day they were built.
Modern Danish furniture combines clean lines and graceful curves into furniture that will fit any decor, blending easily with the rest of the room without an entire redecoration project while still maintaining complete functionality. The Danish modern methods of joinery, when used with teak, create joints that are strong yet supple in appearance.
If you're interested in cheap prices and furniture just to "get by" on for a short time modern Danish teak may not be for you. As you can expect, a fine piece of modern Danish teak furniture often comes with a price that is higher than furniture made elsewhere and of different materials.
This higher cost is easily offset by the fact that when the unsurpassed skill of the Danish craftsmen is combined with the natural strength and durability of teak the resulting piece of furniture can easily last for generations with only a minimum of maintenance.
Form and functionality, strength and durability, all are hallmarks of modern Danish teak furniture. Whether you are looking for a piece that will stand the test of time and become a family heirloom, of simply something to fill the dining room, it's hard to beat Danish teak.
