Myanmar’s recycle antique teak wood furniture

“Recycle through Design”

Myanmar was under British colonies for fifty years and during that time they build lots of houses, and the furniture was made for British officers and their families by using Teak wood material and usage was 40% that time compare to other materials. Currently, the government is starting to demolish those old houses and furniture in order to replace with condos or contemporary housing.

Many of the old pre-owned furniture have rich histories, and they are considered to be vintage or antique. Instead of throwing them away, why not reuse and recycle to give a second live as Teak is such an excellent wood material and the product line is also know for timeless, valuable, elegance look, durability, stability and workability. The furniture appears European in style but with a closer look, one can see the warmth of the Burmese influence. Due to fine craftsmanship, antique teak wood furniture from Myanmar is one of the most prized and valuable pieces of furniture from Southeast Asia.

Using reclaimed teak wood will also have lasting ecological benefits and positive effects on the environment.
